|discussion=<p>The stem leaves of <i>Climacium dendroides</i> have been described as often apiculate, and those of <i>C. americanum</i> as gradually acute-acuminate, but this character often will not differentiate the species, as both commonly have apiculate stem leaves. The stem and branch leaves of <i>C. dendroides</i> are mostly obtuse and apiculate; in <i>C. americanum</i> they are mostly acute, irrespective of the presence of an apiculus. Branch leaf apical cells of <i>C. dendroides</i>, distal to the last pair of large teeth, generally extend even with the last pair, hence the whole apex obtuse in outline; apical cells of <i>C. americanum</i> extend beyond the last pair of large teeth and form a distinctly acute triangular area. In <i>C. dendroides</i>, the basal angles of stem and branch leaves are flat, continuous with the leaf outline, sharply rounded-cordate, and may appear auriculate due to a sinuate flexion of the margins. In <i>C. americanum</i>, auriculate alar regions are sharply and abruptly differentiated from the leaf outline. In <i>C. dendroides</i>, the stem and branch leaves often have hyaline, thin-walled, lax, abruptly inflated and enlarged cells at the basal angles, whereas in <i>C. americanum</i> the cells near the basal angles are quadrate and concolorous.</p>
