Streblotrichum convolutum grows on soil in areas where limestone is present. It is a small acrocarpous moss with a yellow-green color. There is a costa that ends just short of the apex. The apex of the leaf is bluntly acute but can have a small apiculus. The cells of the lamina are multipapillose with round papillae that give the leaf edge a bumpy appearance. There are red-brown rhizoidal tubers present.
