Alar cells abruptly differentiated, hyaline or yellow-brown, irregularly rectangular more or less thick-walled c.28 × 12 µm in concave groups. Branch leaves shorter and narrower, crowded erectopatent (erect with flexuose or out-spread tips when dry), lanceolate acuminate, more or less with falcate tips, up to 1.25 mm long. Costa single, ending below tip likely to be percurrent, cells as stem leaf. Sporophyte not found. Specimen examined : Pabna: Raghunathpur, on the bark of tree, Luna Ahmed, 03.03.94, 193.
