Cephaloziella hirta

Creeping on burnt wood or bark, green, dioicous. Asexual propagules present, 2-celled, elliptic to subquadrate, with hemispherical papillae. Stems 4–5 cells wide, often with spinose protuberances; branches emerging from stems laterally and ventrally and not associated with reduced leaves. Leaves subquadrate to obtrapezoidal in outline, 60–200 µm long, 100–220 µm wide, bilobed for 2/3–3/4 of its length, wide-spreading at base, becoming flexed toward apex, remote to imbricate, spinose along entire margin, sometimes also on abaxial surface; lobes 4–8 cells wide at base, moderately divergent. Underleaves present, lanceolate or asymmetrically bilobed, 40–65 µm long, 25–50 µm wide; cells rounded quadrate to oblong, 7–20 µm long, 7–15 µm wide, smallest near margins, firm-walled, without distinct trigones, conspicuously papillose. Female bracts closest to perianth bilobed for c. ½ of its length, with triangular and spinose lobes; bracteole oblong in outline, bifid for c. 1/3 of its length, fused for 2/3 of its length with both bracts, with triangular and spinose lobes. Perianth decolorate or greenish with a bleached mouth, 3–5-plicate in apical half, with minutely denticulate mouth.
