Gymnomitrion strictum var. inaequalis R.M.Schust.
Holotype: New Zealand, South Is., Fiordland Natl. Park, track from Lake Mackenzie to Harris Saddle, Humboldt Mtns., 3800–4000 ft., Schuster 67-386b.
Plants with branching copious, the longer sterile axes sometimes laxly pinnulate, with wide-spreading arcuate branches that may remain ± abbreviated. Leaves with lobe apices often somewhat divergent, the lobes usually terminating in a single but often ± elongated cell. Cells of lobe margins quite thick-walled, the lumina guttulate, subquadrate to short-oblong; intramarginal lobe cells remaining guttulate, the lumina mostly elliptical, becoming appreciably but gradually larger from margins; cells from middle to base of leaf becoming considerably larger, less firm-walled, more angular.
Gynoecia with lobes of innermost bracts erect, narrow, lanceolate-acuminate, often setigerous distally and terminating in a uniseriate row of 5–7 cells, the bract margins crenulate-denticulate to denticulate and, below, sometimes with 1–2 teeth.
