Lembophyllum divulsum

Compact mats or wefts on rocks, tree trunks, logs and soil. Secondary stems ±erect to scrambling, to 4 cm long, weakly divided into a basal stipe section and a sparingly bipinnately branched frond section; branches blunt; central strand indistinct. Leaves imbricate, terete-foliate, widely-spreading when moist, erecto-patent to appressed when dry, orbicular to widely ovate, sometimes subspathulate, deeply concave, inflated-smooth when moist, mostly unaltered when dry; apex obtuse to widely acute; costa single, extending 2/3–3/4 leaf length, often shorter and divided 2–3 times or sometimes absent; margins serrulate throughout, incurved; mid-laminal cells rounded-rectangular to rhombic, isodiametric to oblong, 6–8 (–9) μm long, 2–2.5 μm wide, weakly prorate; laminal cells toward centre at base 15–20 (–23) μm long, 5–6 μm wide; apical laminal cells isodiametric, rhombic to quadrate or rounded, 7.5–10 μm long, 5–7.5 μm wide; marginal cells at midleaf 7.5–10 (–12.5) μm long, 5–7.5 μm wide. Stem leaves 0.8–0.95 (–1.1) mm long, 0.8–1 (–1.1) mm wide; alar cells irregularly quadrate, c. 5.5–14 μm long, c. 5.5–14 μm wide, forming a group 6–7 cells wide and extending 6–8 cells toward apices. Branch leaves smaller, 0.65–0.85 mm long, 0.65–0.82 mm wide, weakly prorate, with the alar group smaller and similar to cells of adjacent basal margin. Seta (1–) 1.5–2 (–2.5) cm long, red-brown, smooth. Capsule horizontal, ovoid to oblong, symmetric or curved, 1.2–1.35 mm long. Operculum apiculate, to 0.65 mm long.
