Scales tightly adherent to, or fused with flanks, not detachable and not extending above margins of thallus, purple to nearly black. Dorsal epithelium unistratose, cells globose to mammillose, 35-45 x 35-40 µm, hyaline, fragile, soon collapsing; air pores small, triangular or 4-sided. Assimilation tissue 300-400 µm thick, consisting of vertical columns of 7 or 8 isodiametric cells, enclosing narrow air canals; storage tissue occupying ventral part of thallus, cells closely packed, rounded, ± 45 µm wide. Monoicous. Antheridia along groove, with projecting hyaline necks up to 50 µm long. Archegonia scattered, necks purple. Sporangia bulging dorsally, with central purple spot, crowned with 2-10 cilia, in groups of 2 or 3.
