In addition, the distal parts of the axillary hairs consist of 1–4 cells that are shorter and broader than the 1 or 2 narrow and delicate ones found in Amblystegium. The capsule is only slightly curved rather than curved throughout as in Amblystegium species.</p> |tables= |references= }}<!-- --><!-- -->{{#Taxon: name=Conardia |author=Howard A.
