Diagnosis
Shoots with leaves 650 μm wide, with subterminal branches. Stems ca. 170 μm in diameter. Leaves closely imbricate, obliquely inserted. Lobes as long as wide, ca. 270×270 μm; dorsal margin evenly rounded, entire throughout; cells rounded-hexagonal to subl l quadrate, 15-22 μm, without distinct trigones. Underleaves not overlapping, ca. twice wider than stem, broad, entire, 350×150 μm, broader than long, underleaf cells 18-24×11-16(-20) μm. Perianth 600×450 μm, exserted from involucre, elongate, obovate, in upper 1/5 with 5 low smooth longitudinal folds, otherwise smooth. Beak short. Involucral leaves broadly rounded, similar to lobes. Leaves and underleaves on innovations smaller, underleaves as long as broad.
