of the leaf mostly 26 x 26 n, the walls as thin pits between the large, rounded 

 trigones, the cell cavity stellate, the marginal cells slightly smaller, the outer wall 

 very thick, the cuticle verruculose. Underleaves small, broadly ovate, the margins, 

 marginal projections, and much of the surface, covered with stalked or sessile slime 

 papillae which may secrete quantities of slime. Plants dioicous. Male inflorescences 

 in long or short whitish catkins on the ventral side of the stem, the flagelliform 

 branches (in 1-3 rows) or sometimes terminal; bracts and bracteoles in up to 8 

 series, the bracts short, bilobed, concave, monandrous, the bracteoles tiny, ovate, 

 bidentate. Female inflorescence on a very short dorsal or ventral branch, the bracts 

 and bracteoles in 3 series, the innermost series largest, bifid to one-third, the segments 

 triangular, the margins irregular. Perianth long, whitish, cylindrical below, 3-keeled 

 above, the mouth contracted, incised, ciliate with long and short cilia. Gemmae 

 light green, 2-celled.

Plants green, irregularly branched; branches lateral, of the Frullania type with

 underleaves, leafy or flagelliform. Stem in transverse section of similar cells.

 the leaves succubous. Leaves ovate- to obovate-truncate, divided to one-half or less 

 into 2 blunt segments. Underleaves small, ovate to lanceolate. Female inflorescence 

 terminal on the stem or a leafy branch, the several bracts and bracteoles bilobed.
