|discussion=<p><i>Anoectangium handelii</i> is quite similar to <i>Gymnostomum viridulum</i> in habitat, size, general appearance, and production of axillary gemmae (a morphological phenocopy), but is immediately distinguished by its narrow adaxial costal groove. Though apparently rare (California in Inyo County, Colorado in Boulder and Larimer counties, <i>Nevada</i> in Clark County), its small size and similarity to sterile <i>Gymnostomum</i> make <i>A. handelii</i> easy for collectors to pass over. C. C. Heyn and I. Hernnstadt (2004b) provided additional discussion of this curious species.</p>
