Plants erect, simple, naked below, densely foliate above, about 5-7 cm. high. Leaves smooth, lower very small, upper lanceolate and acute-cuspidate, not margined, the base scarcely broader; borders sharply serrate with large teeth, the basal only, entire; basilar cells narrow, the other round-hexagonal, all pellucid; costa percurrent; lamellae 6, disappearing below the apex, entire or slightly crenulate. Capsule single, 0.5-0.6 cm. long, sub-cylindrical, thicker below, 0.2 cm. broad, slightly curved, constricted at the mouth; lid obliquely rostrate from the conic base; perichetial leaves long-cuspidate with an excurrent costa; pedicel bright red, 4-5 cm. long. Dioecious.
This fine species differs considerably from A. parallelum in the smooth leaves, etc.
In damp woods on the lower slopes of Mount Arrowsmith, "Vancouver Island, July 18th, 1887; on earth in Roger's Pass, Selkirk Mountains, B.C., August, 1890. (Macoun.)

This species is not to be confounded with our other species, though the scales of the leases are not always to be found. All other species, except A. leiophyllum and A. parallelum, have margined leaves.
