Entosthodon apiculatopilosus has an unusual peristome with stubby, truncate exostome teeth that look like they have
all broken off. The endostome segments are about four times as long as the exostome teeth. The leaves have a very long excurrent
costa that is reddish brown at the base and hyaline at the tip. The hygroscopic seta is 3-6mm long.
Many thanks to the University of Colorado Herbarium, Erin Tripp & Dina Clark for loaning us this
specimen and for permitting us to photograph it.
