|discussion=<p><i>Kiaeria glacialis</i> is a large species that is found in late snowbeds and is similar to <i>K. starkei</i>, which is more slender and is commonly found on vertical rock surfaces. A form of <i>K. starkei</i> occasionally occurs in late snowbeds, but it has small, erect-spreading dark green leaves; <i>K. falcata</i> also occurs in late snowbeds, but can be distinguished in the field by its short, non-grooved capsules.</p>
