Plants very small, erect, loosely tufted. Leaves small below, much larger and crowded above, gradually long-from a lanceolate to oblong-ovate base, channeled above, entire; costa broad and flat, filling most of the subula and subpercurrent to ± excurrent; cells elongate throughout, rectangular to subrhomboidal, smooth. Autoicous (with a large, lateral antheridial bud near the base). Setae short; capsules immersed or emergent, erect, ovoid from a short, thick neck, narrowed at the mouth, smooth; annulus persistent, consisting of thick-walled cells; operculum slightly convex, long-rostrate; peristome none. Spores large, subreniform, spinose. Calyptrae campanulate-mitrate, covering about half the urn. Plants very small, erect, loosely tufted.
