|discussion=<p><i>Ptychostomum bimum</i> has in the past been considered a form of <i>P. pseudotriquetrum</i>, but V. I. Zolotov (2000) provided characters that can generally separate the two species. <i>Ptychostomum bimum</i> is a common species on damp to wet soil or soil over rock, but its distribution is not well understood as it has had little recognition in the past. The species appears to be much more common than <i>P. pseudotriquetrum</i> in eastern North America.</p>
