|discussion=<p>The apparent rarity of <i>Funaria muhlenbergii</i> in semi-arid portions of the West may be due to the maturation of the species in early spring when the weather is cool and wet, and moisture is available from winter rains and melting snow. S. Flowers (1973) provided a good illustration of American plants.</p>
