A small close-creeping, sparingly branched plant with solitary upright strobilary branches. Creeping stems up to 40 cm. or more long, 1-1.5 mm. thick, with occasional short (2-4 cm.) lateral branches; leaves strongly dimorphic, those of the two under rows appearing lateral, 5 mm. long by 2 mm. wide, ovate, acuminate, falcate, the midrib curved asymmetrically and parallel to the proximal leaf-margin; leaves of the upper four rows subulate, spreading, 3.5 mm. long by 1 mm. wide; upright branches (peduncles) 8-26 cm. long, oftener rising from the short prostrate branches, with whorls of subulate spreading scale-like leaves with parallel margins or slightly contracted below the middle, entire or slightly erose near the base; strobiles 2.5-8 cm. long; sporophyls 2 mm. wide by 4 mm. long, triangular, contracted at the middle and subulate above, spreading, the margins entire above, erose below the middle, those of the same level not contiguous.
