Andreaea is a small moss, growing on rock or thin soil on rock surfaces, always growing in clumps together, with the plant bodies brown or brown-black. Monoecious or dioecious. The perichaetial leaves are mostly large and exserted, sheath-like. Gregarious, but easily falling apart. Solitary or branched, old stem leaves often decayed and fallen off, new stem leaves dense, stem leaf cells containing oil droplets. Leaves erect, inclined, or curled to one side, lotus-petal shaped.
