|discussion=<p><i>Tayloria acuminata</i> has more slender gametophytes and sporophytes than <i>T. splachnoides</i>, which bears a close resemblance. The leaves of <i>T. acuminata</i> are also more pointed, the columella is not or barely exserted upon drying of the capsule, and the operculum is short-conic and only 0.5–0.6 mm high. The exostome of <i>T. acuminata</i> is tightly rolled inside the urn and usually hidden when moist, loosely rolled and more or less reflexed when dry; the brood bodies are small, clavate, of 2–4 cells, and papillose.</p>
