|discussion=<p><i>Tayloria froelichiana</i> can be distinguished most readily from <i>T. hornschuchii</i> by several sporophytic traits: hypophysis twisted and conic, tapering quickly to the seta; operculum deciduous, with an included columella; exostome reticulate to striate, teeth paired, eight in number; and sexual condition cladautoicous or synoicous. The leaves of <i>T. froelichiana</i> are slightly keeled; the proximal leaves are somewhat radiculose. In addition, <i>T. froelichiana</i> differs from <i>T. hornschuchii</i> by the lack of axillary propagula and longer basal (125–195 µm) and apical (75–115 µm) laminal cells.</p>
