|discussion=<p><i>Brotherella canadensis</i> resembles <i>Hypnum</i> in the field, but is distinguished by its strong gloss and inflated, pigmented alar cells. The species is distinguished from <i>B. henonii</i> by its smaller plants and strongly falcate-secund leaves, especially near shoot and branch apices.</p>
