C. richardii
Leaves without hyaline hairpoint or with only a few hyaline cells at end of costa. 3
3 Costa ribbed, with conspicuous lamellae at back. 4
Costa without lamellae at back. 5

C. lamellinervis
Stems often interruptedly foliate. Leaves to 7 mm long. 13

5 Robust plants with leaves 8 -13 mm long, costa in cross- section with dorsal stereids only. 11.
C. subcuspidatus
Leaves not over 9 mm long, costa with dorsal and ventral stereids. 6
6 Upper laminal cells quadrate to rhomboid; costa short-excurrent. 2.
C. arctocarpus
Upper laminal cells more elongate, oval-oblong; costa long-excurrent, coarsely serrate. 4.
