Keys out roughly to sphagnifolia based on collected specimen, but this group is notoriously difficult and the specimen isn't great quality. Will post scope photos next time I have a look at it.
Leaves concave to flat; some leaf distal margins upright to incurved; leaves ~1.5mm wide, limp; branch tips appear long-attenuate.

Plants are variable and seem to intergrade between F. bryoides and F. minutulus. Any ID help appreciated.
