|discussion=<p><i>Entodon challengeri</i> is characterized by strongly flattened branches, strongly concave, oblong-ovate leaves, a reddish seta, and densely papillose exostome teeth; the endostome is sometimes adherent to the exostome teeth. The species has long gone under the name E. compressus in North America (and Asia). However, it appears as if the original publication of this name by Müller is best interpreted as a new combination of <i>Leskea</i> compressa Hedwig. Unfortunately, that name is a synonym of <i>E. cladorrhizans</i>, and so a later name is used honoring the Challenger Expedition.</p>
