|discussion=<p><i>Dichelyma capillaceum</i>, the most common and most slender species in <i>Dichelyma</i>, is equally abundant on bark or rock. The species has indistinctly keeled, weakly three-ranked leaves with long-excurrent costae. <i>Dichelyma falcatum</i> and <i>D. pallescens</i> can be separated from <i>D. capillaceum</i> by their larger plants and strongly keeled, distinctly three-ranked, lanceolate leaves. <i>Dichelyma uncinatum</i> is also slender but differs in having strongly secund to circinate leaves, while those of <i>D. capillaceum</i> are erect or spreading. <i>Dichelyma pallescens</i> differs in having acute to obtuse leaf apices.</p><!--
--><p>There is a supposed Newfoundland collection of <i>Dichelyma capillaceum</i> made by Fowler at Grand Lake, Sept. 18, 1879 (NY), which R. Ireland annotated as probably an error for Grand Lakes, New Brunswick. Fowler collected mosses mostly in New Brunswick; there is no indication he collected in Newfoundland. W. H. Welch (1960) reported <i>D. capillaceum</i> from Manitoba (Hand 528, July 20, 1938, near Rennie); this specimen could not be located.</p>
