Growing intermixed with Fissidens megalotis in otherwise-bare silt in the middle of a minor footpath through Eucalyptus cypellocarpa damp forest. I didn't find any fertile plants.
The leaves are 0.3–0.4 mm long (chord length from insertion to apex).

For reasons I don't understand, iNat's taxonomy doesn't include Fissidens bifrons, even though it's common and accepted under this name by the ALA, MEL and in AusMoss. iNat insists on substituting F. pygmaeus, which is a synonym for F. taylorii – quite a different species.

One of two local species that does not have sheathing (stem clasping) leaves. This species has 15 to 17 rows of cells between the edge of the costa and the leaf margin at the base of the leaf. See the last image for detail. Listed as B. stricta in Catcheside (1980).
