features
Entodon concinnus forms loose, yellow-green to gold-colored or brownish, very shiny lawns. The stems are 10 to 15 centimeters long, they are prostrate and ascending to upright at the tip, simply or slightly branched and almost regularly pinnate. The branches are long, pointed and leafy almost like a stalk.
Leaves stick out upright when wet, and adjoin like roof tiles when dry. They are ovate, blunt, hollow and entire. The rib is very short and double, or it may be absent. Branch leaves are somewhat narrower than the stem leaves.
Leaf cells are linear worm-shaped in the middle of the leaf, shorter, wider, thicker-walled and heavily spotted at the leaf base. Leaf-wing cells are square to shortly rectangular and 2 to 3 layers.
The seta is up to 15 millimeters long and purple, the capsule up to 3 mm long and brown, the lid is conical with a small tip. However, no spore capsules are known from anywhere in Germany.
