--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>medium-sized, in loose mats, dark to light green. <b>Stems</b> to 2.5(–6) cm, (0.6–)1–1.7 mm thick when dry, not or seldom branched, not pinnate, primary branches erect-ascending to arcuate, julaceous when dry, secondary branches not attenuate, often slightly clavate at apices; central strand cells poorly or not differentiated; pseudoparaphyllia absent; rhizoids few. <b>Branch</b> leaves imbricate, appressed, or rarely slightly crisped when dry, erect to spreading, complanate, not secund when moist, broadly oblong-ligulate, sometimes slightly spatulate, abruptly narrowed mid leaf, (1–)1.5–2.3(–3) mm; base broadly decurrent; margins undulate, sometimes infolded, sometimes dentate to spinulose at insertion because of very high papillae, entire at apex; apex rounded, intact; costa moderately strong, ending before apex, not obscured by laminal cells, often 2-fid at end, pellucid, abaxial costa cells papillose, papillae rounded-simple, in rows; basal laminal cells hyaline, mostly papillose, region extending to 1/3 basal leaf portion; medial and distal cells hexagonal, 7–12 µm wide, papillae many, branched. <b>Perichaetia</b> on terminal branches, beyond distalmost branching points, leaves with distal laminal cells papillose. <b>Seta</b> 0.4–1.6 cm. <b>Capsule</b> ovoid, urn 1.5–2.2 mm; stomata absent; annulus well developed; operculum obliquely short-rostrate, 0.3–0.6 mm; exostome teeth irregular, to 0.4 mm, not striolate proximally, papillose distally, often trabeculate; endostome very reduced, basal membrane to 2 cells high, segments irregular, fragmentary. <b>Spores</b> (11–)13–18(–21) µm, smooth to faintly papillose.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Large plants of <i>Anomodon minor</i> with occasional noncomplanate leaves are distinguished from those of <i>A. viticulosus</i> by their more slender habit and smaller leaves, imbricate when dry and not secund when moist; <i>A. viticulosus</i> has more congested, secund branch leaves. Often <i>A. minor</i> has strongly spinulose basal marginal cells, like those of the auricles of <i>A. rugelii</i>. The lack of auricles and the thick papillae on the abaxial costa distinguish <i>A. minor</i>, although the presence of obvious papillae is not absolutely consistent. Characters that have been taken as of great taxonomic value for <i>A. minor</i> and <i>A. rugelii</i> may be found mixed. The only characters that remain congruent are the auricles (sometimes extremely reduced) and foliose pseudoparaphylla of <i>A. rugelii</i> (absent in all specimens of <i>A. minor</i>). <i>Anomodon thraustus</i>, rare in North America, has been misidentified as <i>A. minor</i>, but the distal costa of the latter remains pellucid for most of its length and often becomes asymmetrically 2-fid. In North America <i>A. minor</i> requires mesic habitats and fruits infrequently.</p>
