|discussion=<p><i>Oxyrrhynchium hians</i> is a highly variable species; it ranges from densely foliate, almost tumid phenotypes to very remotely and complanate-foliate plants in shaded habitats. Leaves vary from broadly elliptic and sometimes almost orbicular to narrowly ovate-triangular. In Florida, plants with multispinose costae were described as O. rappii. However, R. S. Breen (1963) found this character to be unstable, sometimes varying along a single stem; H. A. Crum and L. E. Anderson (1981) agreed that this name refers to no more than a form of <i>O. hians</i>. Eurhynchium semiscabrum E. B. Bartram, known from Mexico and more southern countries, is similar to <i>O. hians</i> and may be found in southern states, especially in Florida. It differs from <i>O. hians</i> primarily in its synoicous sexual condition. Despite a broad distribution in the East and its somewhat weedy nature, <i>O. hians</i> is mostly absent in the West. It has been found there only twice, in Vancouver, British Columbia, and in California, growing in lawns, and should be considered a fairly recent introduction.</p>
