The very small plants are covered with a waxy layer and are only a few millimeters long. They are densely leafed with roof tiles. The flank leaves as well as the lower leaves are divided up to more than half into two lanceolate lobes. The leaf cells are round, square to rectangular and thin-walled.
The species is monoecious . The egg-shaped perianth is deeply folded and slashed, the seta protrudes only a little from it. The spore capsule is spherical. Brood bodies are not known.
