Basionym: Hedwigia secunda Hooker Musci Exot. 1: plate 46. 1818
Treatment appears in FNA Volume 28. Treatment on page 89. Mentioned on page 88.

Stems with stolons lateral on primary and secondary stems and branches. Leaves with margins recurved from base to apex; distal medial laminal cell-walls strongly sinuate. Sexual condition paroicous.


Phenology: Capsules mature spring.
Habitat: Shaded or exposed acidic cliffs, boulders, rock, igneous rock faces, shaded ravines, with Arctostaphylos in Pinus and Quercus woodlands
Elevation: moderate to high elevations (1500-2000 m)
