|discussion=<p><i>Schistidium maritimum</i> is one of the easiest species of the genus to identify. Its usually 2-stratose distal laminae, well developed stereid bands, usually small and often campanulate capsules, and coastal habitat are distinctive. Subspecies piliferum, characterized by the presence of awns and a single stereid layer, is not recognized here; further study is needed.</p>
