|discussion=<p><i>Rhizomnium magnifolium</i>, although usually large, can sometimes be small and has been confused with <i>R. pseudopunctatum</i>. Fertile plants of <i>R. pseudopunctatum</i> are synoicous, but sterile collections are common and often ambiguous. <i>Rhizomnium magnifolium</i> has larger and much less pitted laminal cells than <i>R. pseudopunctatum</i>, and its margins are composed mainly of linear cells and are usually 2-stratose; those of <i>R. pseudopunctatum</i> are composed of shorter and usually rectangular or rhomboidal cells and are always 1-stratose. The length of the costa is frequently used to separate these two species, but this character is unreliable with smaller specimens of <i>R. magnifolium</i>. The costa of <i>R. magnifolium</i> is often subpercurrent or percurrent, whereas the costa of <i>R. pseudopunctatum</i> is usually much shorter, and only occasionally subpercurrent and rarely percurrent. For comparison with the similar 2. <i>R. appalachianum</i>, see the discussion there.</p>
