 with leaves to 1.0 mm or more wide, prostrate to suberect, closely pinnate or rarely 

 bipinnate; lateral branches frequent, densely leafy, to 1.7 cm long, decurved, often 

 becoming attenuate, long-flagelliform in the outer part; ventral flagelliform 

 branches long. Rhizoids from the scale leaves of the flagelliform branches. Line 

 of leaf insertion oblique. Stem leaves imbricate, asymmetric, broadly ovate, 

 concave, 0.64-0.8 mm long, 0.6-0.8 mm wide at the base, the dorsal lamina strongly 

 arched, the margins essentially without teeth, quadrifid to one-half or less; 

 segments unequal, long triangular, incurved, the base to seven or ten cells wide, 

 narrowed to an acuminate tip of a row of two or more cells 18-24 p. long; 

 leaf-cells at the base of the segment quadrate to longer than broad, 18-24 p. long, 

 the walls thickened, the trigones distinct, the lumina rounded, the cuticle 

 verruculose. Underleaves large, imbricate, as wide or wider than the stem,
