|discussion=<p>Drummondia prorepens is characterized by long, creeping stems with many erect branches bearing terminal sporophytes. This habit, combined with the cucullate calyptrae, the smooth, ovate capsules with 16 truncate exostome teeth, the lack of stomata, and the undifferentiated basal laminal cells, is absolutely diagnostic.</p>
