|discussion=<p><i>Taxiphyllum deplanatum</i> is widespread in northeastern North America with disjunct populations in New Brunswick, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Arizona, and New Mexico. <i>Taxiphyllum deplanatum</i> has often been confused with <i>T. taxirameum</i>, but the two are easily distinguished superficially and microscopically. The flaccid, appressed-imbricate leaves characteristic of <i>T. deplanatum</i> will easily separate it from <i>T. taxirameum</i> with its rigid, usually distant, wide-spreading to squarrose leaves. The alar regions of <i>T. deplanatum</i> are well differentiated with quadrate to short-rectangular cells, 3–8 in the marginal rows, which is in striking contrast to the poorly differentiated alar regions of <i>T. taxirameum</i> that have only a few rectangular cells on the margins. <i>Taxiphyllum deplanatum</i> has been reported for the Gulf Coast region, based on a Louisiana specimen (R. R. Ireland 1969b). However, it was re-examined and found to be a misidentified specimen of <i>T. taxirameum</i> as W. D. Reese (1984) noted. The capsules are extremely rare.</p>
