During a revision of the genus Taxithelium, a new species was found from the island of Seram, Indonesia. The presence of collenchymatous exothecial cells, a resemblance to Radulina, but being a much smaller plant, lacking any papillae on the seta and having the alar cells much less developed and neither inflated nor colored associate it with Taxithelium. Multivartiate analyses support its infrageneric distinctiveness.
