　Note： The small thalli, few trichospores, and the trichospore shape and size distinguish S. nana from other Stachylina species. The holdfast disk is small. The long trichospore appendage is generally flat and ribbonlike near the trichospores body, but tapers to become a very fine structure at the free end.
