This species much resembles L. pattidum, Hmp. But, besides the difference in 

 the peristome, it is easily distinguished by its green color the shorter, broader capsule 

 borne on a shorter, thicker pedicel, having a longer, dark-red operculum. The leaves, 

 also, of our species are much longer ; their basilar reticulation larger, etc. The male 

 flowers are gemmiform, axillary, and their leaves large, ovate, short, lanceolate, 

 obtuse.
