|discussion=<p>In Nunavut, <i></i>var.<i> sexangulare</i> is known from Baffin Island. Even when sterile, it can usually be recognized by secund, tubulose leaves with an obtusely cucullate apex. <i>Polytrichastrum alpinum </i>var.<i> septentrionale</i> is similar, but has papillose lamellae, and the leaf apex is not cucullate.</p>
