|discussion=<p><i>Pohlia crudoides</i> is a distinctive Arctic species characterized by cherry red stems and relatively stiff, dark green leaves with strongly recurved margins. The perichaetial leaves of most <i>Pohlia</i> species have recurved margins, but the only other North American species with strongly recurved vegetative leaf margins is <i>P. cardotii</i>. The latter has shorter, broader leaves with short-rhombic cells often with porose-thickened walls. <i>Pohlia crudoides</i> has weakly tapered exostome teeth coarsely papillose from top to bottom, which give them a whitish appearance under a dissecting microscope; the endostome segments also are papillose.</p>
