features
The moss with upright, up to five centimeters high trunks forms dense white-green to yellow-green cushions. The upright leaves are long-pointed, with entire margins or slightly serrate at the tip. The broad leaf vein is smooth on the back and takes up about four fifths or more at the base of the leaf, the entire leaf width towards the top, so that the narrow leaf lamina of rectangular cells is only present in the lower half of the leaf. The rib cross-section has three layers with a middle layer of chlorophyll-containing and a dorsal and ventral layer of hyaline cells.
Sporophytes are very rarely formed. Spore ripening is in summer. The seta is one to two centimeters long and carries a two to three millimeter long capsule.
