--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>medium-sized, in moderately loose to dense tufts, light to dark green or yellowish to brownish. <b>Stems</b> to 10 cm, creeping to arching, slightly curved or flexuose, terete- to subcomplanate-foliate, rarely julaceous along some portions of stem, occasionally regularly pinnate, branches to 7 mm, straight to slightly curved, subcomplanate- to complanate-foliate. <b>Stem</b> leaves erect, or patent and twisted to contorted, ovate-triangular to ovate, broadest at 1/7 leaf length or below, not or slightly plicate, longer than broad, 1–1.3(–1.6) × 0.7–1.1 mm; base decurrent; margins serrulate or serrate almost to base; apex acute or gradually to abruptly short-acuminate, rarely cucullate; costa to 60–80% leaf length, strong, terminal abaxial spine present; alar cells short-rectangular, to 30 × 12–16 µm, walls moderately thick, region of many cells, pellucid, not reaching margins, gradually differentiated; laminal cells 20–40 × 4–6 µm, variable on different leaves on same plant, 3–8:1, strongly prorate to prorate-papillose on abaxial surface; basal cells 10–13 µm wide, region in 1 or 2 rows. <b>Seta</b> 1–2 cm. <b>Capsule</b> inclined to horizontal, slightly curved, 1.5–2 mm. <b>Spores</b> 14–18 µm.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Specimens labeled as <i>Bryhnia novae-angliae</i> from Alaska appear to belong to <i>B. hultenii</i>. Both species are highly variable, so there are morphotypes in both species that have almost identical characters. The common phenotype of <i>B. novae-angliae</i> has its branch leaves rigidly spreading and markedly smaller than stem leaves, but this is not consistent, and sometimes plants are quite similar to <i>Brachythecium rivulare</i>. However, the shorter, usually strongly prorate to prorate-papillose laminal cells indicate <i>Bryhnia</i>. <i>Bryhnia novae-angliae</i> is especially variable near its southern limit; some plants in that region are little branched. Others, as in North Carolina, have blunt leaves resembling <i>Eurhynchiastrum pulchellum</i>; they differ from this species in having flexuose and shorter laminal cells and larger plant size.</p>
