|discussion=<p><i>Hypnum vaucheri</i> is widely distributed in boreal and Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere; the plants are usually not firmly attached to the substrate, and sporophytes are infrequent; the branches emerge in one plane; the stem epidermal cells are not enlarged, with thin outer walls collapsing inward; the pseudoparaphyllia are few, with bluntly to sharply toothed margins; and the alar cells are shorter and wider than the laminal cells, in a triangular region. <i>Hypnum vaucheri</i> is readily confused with <i>H. cupressiforme</i>; the most reliable distinguishing feature is the blunt foliose pseudoparaphyllia of the former (filamentous to lanceolate in <i>H. cupressiforme</i>); in <i>H. vaucheri</i> the medial laminal cells are often short-elliptic rather than linear-flexuous, especially in straight leaves. <i>Hypnum vaucheri</i> is predominantly continental in distribution in North America, while <i>H. cupressiforme</i> is frequent near the coasts.</p><!--
--><p><i>Hypnum</i> canariense (Mitten) A. Jaeger (H. uncinatulum Juratzka)</p><!--
--><p>Noted by A. J. Grout (1928–1940, vol. 3) presumably from Newfoundland, this species is not in North America. Grout appears to have based the record on H. waghornei Kindberg, in which the type contains a mixture, none of it <i>Hypnum</i>. Grout did not see authentic material, and appears to have followed Kindberg in J. Macoun (1902).</p><!--
--><p><i>Hypnum</i> fertile Sendtner</p><!--
--><p>This species, treated in the past in North America, has been shown to be 8. <i>H. fauriei</i> Cardot; see discussion of that species.</p><!--
--><p><i>Hypnum</i> geminum (Mitten) Lesquereux & James</p><!--
--><p>This species is not recognized under <i>Hypnum</i> in this treatment. The type specimen is extremely small and difficult to interpret; it is possibly <i>Isopterygiopsis pulchella</i>.</p><!--
--><p><i>Hypnum</i> obsoletinerve Kindberg</p><!--
--><p>This species is clearly not <i>Hypnum</i>. According to A. J. Grout (1928–1940, vol. 3), H. N. Dixon examined the type from Alberta and suggested that it might be a <i>Campylium</i> species.</p>
