Flora of North America species comparison

leaves shorter than branch leaves, 0.8–1.6 mm, lingulate, hyaline cells non-septate above and commonly 1-septate below.

leaves triangular to triangular-lingulate, 1–1.3 mm, apex acute to slightly obtuse, border broad at base (more than 0.25 width);

hyaline cells narrowly rhomboid, mostly 0–1-septate and mostly efibrillose.

short and blunt, branch leaves imbricate.

usually strongly 5-ranked.

0.9–2 mm, ovate, with conspicuously truncate apex, hyaline cells bulging on both surfaces, with 1–4 large circular to elliptic pores per cell on convex surface and 4–7 elliptic pores per cell on concave surface, internal commissural walls faintly papillose, cholrophyll cells elliptical to elliptical-ovate withn the broadest part typically some distance from convex surface.

ovate to ovate-lanceolate, 1.1–1.5 mm, concave, straight, apex slightly involute;

hyaline cells on convex surface with numerous oval to elliptic pores along commissures grading from small pores near apex to large round pores at base, concave surface with large round pores in proximal portions of leaf.

unknown.

monoicous or dioicous.

19–27 µm, finely papillose on proximal surface, pusticulate on distal surface;

proximal laesura less than 0.4 spore radius.

fascicles typically with 2 spreading and 2 hanging branches.;

branch stems with single layer of cortical cells.

fascicles with mostly 3 spreading and 1–2 pendent branches.
