- Diagnosis
- Stem unknown. Leaves oblong or ovate-triangular and gradually tapered
to acute apex or from broadly oblong base reflexed and tapered to broadly lanceolate upper portion; plane, keeled or undulate; margin entire, bordered by unistratose, 2(–3)-seriate limbidium, limbidium cells separated by oblique cell walls, longer and usually broader than cells inwards; laminal cells small, quadrate or polygonal throughout the leaf and thus monomorphic, or in lower leaf part dimorphic with scattered large pellucid cells or with a regular and clear protosphagnoid areolation by cells forming T-triads or TT-tetrads; costa
stout and broad, multistratose, disappearing below leaf apex, without lateral branches, at least sometimes with enlarged cells of the ventral epidermis. Brood bodies unknown.
