teeth, equidistant, lanceolate, marked externally with a medial line, 
transversely barred ; inner peristome a membrane divided half way. 
down into sixteen carinate processes, alternating with the outer 
teeth. Stem with innovations from the floral apex ; innovations 
simple or branched covered with radicles. The leaves are mostly 
in eight rows ; semiamplexicaul, and more or less decurrent, their 
shape and nervure dividing the species broadly into seven sections, 
of which the first two, with two exceptions, form the genus Webera 
(Hedwig). The form of the capsule and also the character of the 
inflorescence again sub-divide them.
