--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>in open tufts or mats, olivaceous to brownish (black), sometimes with yellowish tones. <b>Stems</b> 1.2–12 cm, central strand weak or absent. <b>Leaves</b> erect or curved, rarely (falcate-) secund when dry, ovate-lanceolate, sharply keeled distally, (1.3–)1.7–2.5(–3.2) mm, 1-stratose or rarely 2-stratose in striae distally; margins usually recurved throughout or to just before the apex, usually denticulate distally, 1 or 2-stratose; apices acute or sub-obtuse; costa percurrent or excurrent as a smooth or weakly denticulate, occasionally decurrent awn, abaxial surface often papillose; basal marginal cells usually quadrate; distal laminal cells mostly short-rectangular, 8–10 µm wide, smooth, sinuose. <b>Sexual</b> condition autoicous. <b>Capsule</b> dark red or brown, short-cylindric, 0.7–1.3 mm; exothecial cells usually quadrate, sometimes mixed with short-elongate or oblate cells, thin-walled, usually trigonous; stomata present; peristome patent or erect, often twisted, 350–600(–700) µm, red, densely papillose, usually perforated. <b>Spores</b> 11–14(–19) µm, granulose or smooth.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Although H. H. Blom (1996) considered <i>Schistidium apocarpum</i> to be restricted in the flora area to the eastern portions of North America, it is more widespread and scattered across the continent. The denticulate leaf margins, papillose abaxial costal surface, short-cylindrical capsules, and the thin-walled, often evenly quadrate exothecial cells are distinguishing characters. The long peristome teeth are also useful in identifying <i>S. apocarpum</i>. In good condition the peristome can only be confused with that of <i>S. trichodon</i>, which differs in the darker, often black color of its plants, the peristome teeth often forming a dome, and the cylindrical capsules that retain the columella.</p>
