Formerly known as Eurhynchium praelongum. Image 3 shows the spine or tooth at the end of the costa as frequently seen on branch leaves. Images 4, 5 and 6 are stem leaves and images 7, 8 and 9 are the differently shaped branch leaves. Images 10 and 11 show the denticulate margins and some cell details. Similar in appearance to a Thuidium however the denticulate margins and different cell structure separate the genera.
