Gertrudiella uncinicoma is distinguished by the presence of a well-developed central cylinder at the stem, leaves strongly curled when dry, and guide cells of the costa distributed in 3-4 layers ( Jimenez & Suárez, 2017). In Chaco Province, the species forms extensive and dense cushions on soil, intermixed with Selaginella sp. and Hyophila involuta (Hook.) A. Jaeger , in both preserved and disturbed areas.

Distribution and habitat. Gertrudiella uncinicoma is a Neotropical species from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Peru and Paraguay ( Schiavone & Suárez, 2003; Suárez & Schiavone, 2005, 2010; Jimenez & Suárez, 2017). In Argentina, it has been recorded from Córdoba, Jujuy, Salta, Santiago del Estero, and Tucumán ( Schiavone & Suárez, 2003; Suárez & Schiavone, 2005, 2010).
