|discussion=<p><i>Drepanocladus arcticus</i> has frequently been confused with <i>Campylium stellatum</i> and <i>D. polygamus</i>, as all occur in Arctic areas. <i>Amblystegium</i> chrysophyllum var. zemliae C. E. O. Jensen [<i>Campylium</i> zemliae (C. E. O. Jensen) C. E. O. Jensen] may be an older name for <i>D. arcticus</i>; however, because no type material of this taxon seems to be extant, and the protologue does not allow certain conclusions regarding its identity, this cannot be decided. Two duplicate specimens from the Jensen herbarium originally identified as C. zemliae (Uummannaq, Vahl s.n., July 1834 [H, S]) belong to <i>D. polygamus</i>. The leaf acumina are (1–)1.2–2.3 times the basal leaf length.</p>
