Plants small, in loose tufts, yellow-green; terricolous. Stems julaceous, erect, to 10 mm high, irregularly branched; in section round, central strand present, small, inner cortical cells large, subround, thin-walled, outer cortical cells quadrate to rectangular, in 1-2 rows, incrassate. Leaves imbricate, concave, semicircular to oval, 0.2-0.4 mm long; apex broadly obtuse to rounded; base clasping; margins erect, entire. Costa weak to above mid-leaf; in section consisting of 4 undifferentiated cells. Upper laminal cells smooth, quadrate to angular, strongly incrassate; upper marginal cells short-rectangular, thin-walled, hyaline, forming border 2-3 cells wide around apex; basal cells larger, quadrate to transversely rectangular, hyaline. Synoicous. Perigonial leaves small, oval, obtuse. Perichaetia large, lateral through innovation; leaves broadly oval to oblong, abruptly cuspidate; costa strong above, excurrent, weak to absent in lower base. Seta very short, c. 0.1 mm long; capsule stegocarpous, pyriform, 0.6 mm long, neck short, 0.2 mm long, with numerous stomata; peristome absent; operculum conical, very short-beaked; calyptra mitriform, covering operculum; spores subreniform, 52-57 µm, lightly papillose.

Sterile plants are characterized by the sparsely branched, julaceous stem. The large-leaved, lateral perichaetia of fertile plants are very distinctive. Gametophytically the plants are very distinct from any other genus in the family, however, the capsule morphology clearly indicates the correct placing of Cladophascum in Trematodontoideae with Bruchia and Trematodon. The lectotype (Sim 8850) was originally erroneously numbered 8450. The mistake was corrected in a letter from Sim to Dixon (PRE) and it was published as 8850. The error was, however, not corrected on the specimens. From: Magill, RE. 1981. Ditrichaceae to Grimmiaceae. In: OA Leistner (ed.). Fl. S. Africa Bryophyta(1,1): 83-281.
