|discussion=<p><i>Cyclodictyon varians</i> is rare in the flora area, found in several counties of Florida and Louisiana in Iberia Parish. <i>Hookeria acutifolia</i> is also large, flaccid, and pale green, and has large, lax laminal cells with an indistinct border of narrower cells; it is distinguished by complete absence of costa. <i>Hookeria</i> leaf apices are gradually acuminate, whereas those of <i>C. varians</i> are abruptly acuminate. <i>Callicostella pallida</i> leaves have no border of differentiated cells, and though they also have two costae, those are strong (not weak), ending near the apex (not 1/2–2/3 before the apex), and the cells lumens are centrally 1-papillose. H. A. Crum and L. E. Anderson (1981) discussed the doubtful report of <i>Cyclodictyon</i> obliquicuspis (Müller Hal.) H. A. Crum & E. B. Bartram [= C. roridum (Hampe) Kuntze] in Florida, reported in a paper by W. H. Welch (1971).</p>
