|discussion=<p><i>Homomallium adnatum</i> is found throughout eastern North America. Occasionally it produces dense clusters of short brood branches as does <i>Platygyrium repens</i>, a corticolous species distinguished by its erect capsules, reflexed leaf margins and longer laminal cells. Although <i>Hypnum cupressiforme</i> is somewhat similar to <i>Homomallium adnatum</i>, it is distinguished by its longer leaves and alar cells that are restricted to the bottom 1/4 of the leaf margins. <i>Homomallium</i> sharpii is a similar species found in Mexico in comparable habitats; its plants have smaller branches (1 cm), differentiated stem and branch leaves, longer medial cells (more than 30 µm), and alar cells in small triangular groups.</p>
