|discussion=<p>Plants of <i>Pireella cymbifolia</i> are usually small and scarcely branched, but well-grown plants (for example, in the Florida Keys) may be larger and irregularly pinnate. The leaf bases are decurrent, with several rows of quadrate alar cells extending distally along the margin. <i>Pireella cymbifolia</i> is restricted to southern Florida in the flora area. The leaves are often very small for most of the stipe, 0.5 × 0.3 mm. Superficially, P. cymbifolium may resemble <i>Henicodium</i>; under the microscope, the more extensive area of oblate cells in the leaf base and distinctly plicate leaves of <i>Henicodium</i> should prevent confusion.</p>
