Gametophyte an exceedingly minute mostly simple, fleshy stem, often less than a millimeter long ; leaves imbricate, ovate orbicular, usually narrower than the stem, bifid with an acutish sinus ; underleaves lanceolate-ovate, entire, often apparent only near the ends of the sterns ; perianth terminal on ascending sterns, 0.5 mm. or less long, oval or somewhat obovate, plicate and trun cate at the mouth. Sporophyte an oval capsule on a seta scarcely
longer than the perianth.
Among mosses on rotten wood, New Jersey and Ohio (fide Austin); also Belleville, Ontario (Macoun). Not often collected but likely to be overlooked by collectors on account of its almost microscopic size. It was distributed by Sullivant: Musc. Alleg. 239 dipariceria); this number forms the type ; it was also distributed by Austin : Hep. Bor. Am. 50.
