Flora of North America species comparison

leaves spatulate to broad-spatulate, 0.8–1.5(–2) mm, strongly lacerate across the broad apex and often part way down the margins, border scarcely to strongly broadened at base (0.25 width of base or less);

hyaline cells rhomboid, efibrillose and often 1–2-septate.
