Reddish-brown, varying to greenish, forming wide depressed 
mats: stems 1.5-4 cm. long, .1-.2 mm. in diameter, light brown 
or greenish, mostly bipinnate; dorsal lobes of leaves imbricate, 
obliquely ovate, those of the main stem and principal branches 
(6-І mm. x .45—.8 mm. all arching over the stem and cordate at 
base, usually marked with a short median line of discolored slightly 
enlarged cells, eatire,the decurrent rom rounded-obtuse to acu- 
minate-apiculate ; lobules oval-cylindrical to short-clavate, .18—.23 
mm. х.1-.14 mm., separated from the stem by about their own width; 
stylus minute: underleaves distant, subquadrate-rhombic to obovate, 
mostly rhombic-obovate, usually 2-214 times the width of the 
the stem, gradually narrowed to the neither auriculate nor appen- 
diculate base, bifid about !4 their length with narrow sinus and 
obtuse lobes, the margins plane, usually bluntly unidentate near 
the middle : superior and median cells of the dorsal lobes mostly 
16-25 и, all rather thick-walled, trigones and intermediate thick- 
enings becoming more conspicuous toward the middle and the 
base: dioicous: androecia subglobose or oval, 2 bracts 3-7 
pairs ; antheridia in 3's: archegonia terminal on a short branch: 
9 bracts in commonly three pairs, unequally bifid, the dorsal lobes 
of the inmost pair ovate, acute or acuminate-apiculate or rarely 
obtuse, с ме at the dorsal base, otherwise entire; lobules ovate 
or lanceolate, acute, slightly concave ventrally, ciliate at the ven- 
tral basal margin, otherwise entire : bracteoles connate with the 
bract on one side, ovate, bifid to about the middle with a narrow 
sinus and lanceolate acuminate lobes, ciliate at base, otherwise en- 
tire: perianth oblong-obovate, 1.5—2.3 mm. x 9-1.1 mm., ab- 
ruptly short-rostrate, strongly unicarinate ventrally, smooth : cap- 
sule exserted by about twice its own diameter of .2-.8 mm., spores 
60-80 и in greatest diameter, the verruculae mostly aggregated in 
small circular patches.
