|discussion=<p><i>Rosulabryum andicola</i> is a large, striking species when well developed, but at the northern edge of its range in the Southwest it is often much smaller. The strong border and sharply serrate leaves combined with the filiform gemmae serve to distinguish smaller specimens from small species of <i>Rosulabryum</i>; it is most closely related to R. albolimbatum and R. billardieri of the Southern Hemisphere. There is some confusion over the identity of the species, as the type is reported to be similar to <i>R. flaccidum</i>. Specimens named <i>R. andicola</i> in the sense of M. A. Mohamed (1979) are large, robust plants, very unlike the small <i>R. flaccidum</i>. If <i>R. andicola</i> is synonymous with <i>R. flaccidum</i>, then the next oldest name for this species is <i>Bryum</i> ehrenbergianum Müller Hal.</p>
