|discussion=<p><i>Schwetschkeopsis fabronia</i> is a very slender, delicate moss typically with an evenly combed appearance due to the branches generally being directed downward in an orderly fashion. <i>Clasmatodon parvulus</i> is somewhat similar to and often occurs with <i>S. fabronia</i>. In the field, <i>Clasmatodon</i> can generally be distinguished from <i>Schwetschkeopsis</i> by its dull color and less even branch arrangement. The stems and branches of <i>Clasmatodon</i> are similar in size, while in <i>Schwetschkeopsis</i> the stems are generally noticeably larger than the branches. Microscopically the two are easily separated by the well-developed single costa of <i>Clasmatodon</i> versus the faint, short and double or frequently absent costa of <i>Schwetschkeopsis</i>. Many colonies of <i>Schwetschkeopsis</i> have stems composed almost entirely or in part of long, flagellate branches. Both H. A. Crum and L. E. Anderson (1981) and W. D. Reese (1984) reported that <i>Schwetschkeopsis</i> is ecostate, but many leaves exhibit a very faint, short, double costa. Only four collections, two each from Florida and Tennessee, were observed with mature sporophytes (two in October, two in February).</p>
