|discussion=<p><i>Ptychostomum neodamense</i> is closely related to <i>P. bimum</i>, <i>P. subneodamense</i>, and <i>P. pseudotriquetrum</i>, differing in its ovate, blunt, mostly non-decurrent leaves crowded along the stem. The costal awns are stout. D. T. Holyoak and L. Hedenäs (2006) did not consider <i>P. neodamense</i> a good species, based on a very limited sampling from Europe, but their results could also be interpreted to suggest that it may be distinct. Disjunct material from California closely matches European collections, but Colorado material differs somewhat in overall habit and ecology.</p>
