|discussion=<p><i>Tayloria hornschuchii</i> is distinguished by the well-developed, often wrinkled hypophysis, as wide as the urn and gradually tapering to the seta; systylius operculum with exserted columella; papillose exostome of 16 unpaired or partially split teeth; and dioicous sexual condition. The leaves of <i>T. hornschuchii</i> are crowded at stem apices and innovations and strongly keeled. The brood bodies are few to many, of six or fewer cells, and red to red-brown at maturity.</p>
