|discussion=<p><i>Tayloria serrata</i> is distinguished by several leaf characters, including obovate to oblong-obovate leaves with an acuminate or acute apex and unbordered, serrate margins. In addition, the exostome teeth of <i>T. serrata</i> are not divided or recurved as in <i>T. acuminata</i> and <i>T. splachnoides</i>. The brood bodies are dark red-brown, narrowly ellipsoid, and small. The capsule is brown or red-brown and gradually narrowed to the hypophysis.</p>
