--><p>Grout segregated <i>Cirriphyllum</i> from Eurhynchium, accepting four species in North America. H. Robinson (1962) transferred C. brandegeei and C. cirrosum to <i>Brachythecium</i> and C. illecebrum to <i>Bryoandersonia</i>. Phylogenetic analysis by M. S. Ignatov and S. Huttunen (2002) and Ignatov et al. (2008) supports these transfers. <i>Cirriphyllum</i> boscii is a synonym of <i>Bryoandersonia illecebra</i>.</p>
