|discussion=<p><i>Platydictya jungermannioides</i> is easily recognized by its small size, absent or almost absent leaf costa, easily detached branches, and axillary rhizoids that are purplish and granular-papillose at least when young. The branching and rhizoid characters differentiate <i>P. jungermannioides</i> from the other three species of <i>Platydictya</i>.</p>
