Species: Tayloria acuminata

Mosses bright-green, loosely tufted, radiculose below; radicles violet, becoming purple to dark-red with age, bearing small, clavate, papillose brood bodies; short, smooth, subclavate filaments borne in clusters in axils of the upper, perichaetial, and perigonial leaves. Leaves erect and moderately contorted when dry, erect-spreading when moist, somewhat larger and more crowded at stem tips but not forming rosulate tufts, lanceolate and gradually acuminate, concave and moderately keeled. Margins plane or sometimes loosely revolute in the lower half, serrate and indistinctly bordered in the upper half; costa yellow-green to reddish, tapered. Autoicous. Setae stout, slightly twisted when dry, smooth, pale- to dark-yellow or reddish; capsules suberect and often slightly asymmetric, cylindric, wide-mouthed and abruptly contracted to the slender neck when dry (Crum and Anderson 1981).
