|discussion=<p><i>Tortula inermis</i> has the aspect of a <i>Syntrichia</i> with its ligulate, apiculate leaves and strong costa, but the plant is yellow or orange in KOH solution, and the costal section reveals a rounded stereid band. It is related to <i>T. subulata</i> and <i>T. mucronifolia</i> but the lack of a strong mucro and the narrow but nearly complete recurving of the leaf margins are diagnostic.</p>
