Description
The roots, which are 10-100 mm tall, stand up straight. The oval- or egg-shaped leaves are usually broader above the middle. The rhizoids are not slender, unlike similar species R. magnifolium and R. pseudopunctatum and they grow in the leaf axils. Capsules, measuring 5mm long, are borne on setae which are 20-30mm.
