|discussion=<p><i>Syntrichia papillosissima</i> is primarily a species of the Great Basin Desert north into the shrub-steppe ecosystems of the Columbia Basin, where it often occurs as a co-dominant with <i>S. ruralis</i> and <i>S. caninervis</i>. It is similar to a robust <i>S. ruralis</i>, differing most conspicuously in the extremely tall mammillae on the distal leaf cells, each crowned by only one or two papillae, unlike the shorter bulging cell surface bearing four or five papillae characterizing other species in the <i>S. ruralis</i> complex. <i>Syntrichia papillosissima</i> also has larger distal laminal cells, which are more pellucid than those of <i>S. ruralis</i>.</p>
