|discussion=<p><i>Hypnum procerrimum</i> has an interrupted distribution in Arctic and alpine areas of the Northern Hemisphere, usually in well-drained sites. Plants of <i>H. procerrimum</i> have blunt, weakly toothed pseudoparaphyllia and triangular alar regions; the medial laminal cells are linear-flexuose with somewhat pitted walls. The species is very distinctive; some small forms might be confused with <i>Ctenidium molluscum</i>, but the toothed leaves and the laminal cells often with projecting distal ends distinguish the latter.</p>
