|discussion=<p><i>Hamatocaulis vernicosus</i> is widely distributed but rarely common, seemingly rare or absent in the Arctic, in the northern-central parts of the continent, and in most oceanic areas. The species is usually easily recognized by the distinctly plicate stem leaves having erect bases and suddenly curved distal parts. The stem leaves lack differentiated alar cells and the stem lacks a central strand and hyalodermis. Molecular studies have revealed that <i>H. vernicosus</i> consists of two cryptic species in Europe. Molecularly studied North American material (from Minnesota) belongs to one of these, but since the other species is known from South America, it could occur in North America as well. Much material originally filed under <i>H. vernicosus</i> in herbaria examined belonged to other species, mainly to <i>Palustriella falcata</i>, <i>Sanionia uncinata</i>, and <i>Scorpidium cossonii</i>; almost all earlier species of <i>Drepanocladus</i> (in the broad sense) have been confused with <i>H. vernicosus</i>.</p>
