|discussion=<p><i>Niphotrichum panschii</i> is fairly frequent in the high Arctic of Alaska, the Yukon Territory, and Nunavut, as well as in Greenland (except for the southernmost part), only occasionally southwards to latitude ca. 55º N in Labrador. It is closely related to <i>N. canescens</i>, but the possibility of confusion with the typical subspecies of the latter is rather minimal since that is a temperate taxon and its range does not overlap that of <i>N. panschii</i>. The taxa have a similar leaf shape, although <i>N. panschii</i> always has straight leaves that are not hyaline in the distal part and it is less robust than <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> canescens</i>. <i>Niphotrichum panschii</i> is externally more similar to <i>N. canescens </i>subsp.<i> latifolium</i>, and they are more likely to be confused, especially because they often grow together. However, they can be recognized by their awns, which in <i>N. panschii</i> are less papillose but more strongly spinulose and serrate at the apex, relatively short, less flexuose, and directed upwards. In contrast, the awns of <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> latifolium</i> are strongly papillose throughout and only faintly serrulate, long, distinctly flexuose, and consequently spreading from the shoot. The stems of <i>N. panschii</i> are sparingly branched to almost unbranched, and the branches are usually erect and fragile, whereas those of <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> latifolium</i> are more profusely branched, and the branches are non-fragile.</p>
