|discussion=<p><i>Hypnum imponens</i> is an amphi-Atlantic species that produces sporophytes, sometimes abundantly, in summer. The species is distinguished by the often pigmented, heterogeneous alar cells, usually reddish stems, long-toothed, foliose, usually numerous pseudoparaphyllia, and nearly erect, cylindric capsules. The branches usually emerge in one horizontal plane; the leaves are not to weakly plicate; the perichaetial leaf margins are often strongly revolute proximally; and the capsules are somewhat curved below the mouth. The lanceolate or filamentous pseudoparaphyllia and generally homogeneous alar cells of <i>H. cupressiforme</i> and its near relatives are usually sufficient to separate them from this species.</p>
