Branch cortex strongly dimorphic; retort cells solitary or in linear series of 2(-3), slightly protuberant at apertures. Stem leaves erect and appressed to stems (therefore virtually invisible in surface view), shortly and broadly spathulate, 0-9-1-4 mm long, 0-9-1-2 mm wide in upper half, delicate in texture, expanded and conspicuously resorbed, fimbriate around the whole apical region; border strongly expanded below into broad patches of.
