|discussion=<p><i>Philonotis uncinata</i> is restricted in the flora area largely to states bordering the Gulf of Mexico. The species is recognized by its diminutive habit, percurrent to short-excurrent costa, doubly toothed leaf margin and laminal cells prorulose at distal ends. <i>Philonotis</i> glaucescens, treated as a synonym here, has been recognized elsewhere as <i>P. uncinata</i> var. glaucescens (Hornschuch) Florschütz. The features by which <i>P. glaucescens</i> is recognized (whether as a variety or as a species) include straight leaves and a percurrent costa; these seem to fall within the variation displayed by <i>P. uncinata</i>, the oldest name available for this group of related forms.</p>
