|discussion=<p>Two taxa have commonly been recognized within <i>Kindbergia praelonga</i>: Eurhynchium praelongum var. stokesii and K. brittoniae. The former is more robust than typical <i>K. praelonga</i> and has mostly simple branches, as with <i>K. oregana</i>. In contrast, K. brittoniae is a more slender plant with slightly roughened to almost smooth setae. Transitions between these extremes make it difficult to segregate either taxon (K. S. Giles 1990). <i>Kindbergia praelonga</i> was reported several times from eastern North America, but correctly identified collections have not been seen to date. It is most commonly confused with <i>Sciuro-hypnum starkei</i> or <i>Bryhnia novae-angliae</i>. However, <i>S. starkei</i> is autoicous with frequent sporophyte production; the conic operculum is the most reliable differentiating character state, although not present in all specimens. <i>Bryhnia</i> is distinct in its not so regular branching, usually strongly prorate laminal cells with prorae on each cell, not only on few cells as in <i>Kindbergia</i>.</p>
