--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>large, in thick mats, green. <b>Stems</b> 6–8+ cm, 1–1.8 mm thick when dry, somewhat branched, primary branches erect-ascending to arcuate; central strand cells not differentiated; pseudoparaphyllia absent; rhizoids few. <b>Branch</b> leaves erect when dry, secund, somewhat flexuose, spreading to reflexed when moist, oblong-ligulate, 2.2–4 mm; base broadly decurrent; margins plane, entire; apex obtuse, rounded, or sometimes acute, intact; costa strong, ending sharply before apex, occasionally obscured by laminal cells distally, rarely asymmetrically 2-fid at end, pellucid, lighter green, abaxial costa cells papillose, papillae thick, in rows; basal laminal cells hyaline, papilla 1, region barely extending beyond 1/4 length of leaf base; medial and distal cells hexagonal, 8–12 µm, papillae many, branched. <b>Perichaetia</b> borne distally from last branching points, leaves similar to vegetative leaves, costa ending closer to apex, laminal cells papillose.

|discussion=<p><i>Anomodon viticulosus</i> is the most robust species of the genus, forming thick mats on rocks and sometimes on tree trunks. The robust habit and thickness distinguish it from other species. When depauperate, <i>A. viticulosus</i> is distinguished from <i>A. rugelii</i> by its falcate-secund leaves, decurrent and tapering from the shoulders toward the apex; <i>A. rugelii</i> has leaves incurved when dry, lingulate beyond the shoulders, with characteristic auricles at the insertion. Unlike those of <i>A. minor</i> or <i>A. rugelii</i>, the apex of <i>A. viticulosus</i> is never rounded, nor are its terminal branches complanate. <i>Anomodon viticulosus</i> is sometimes mistaken for <i>A. attenuatus</i>; the latter has more prostrate stems and profuse branching in a pattern of successive orders of branching, with the terminal branches attenuate, complanate, crowded, and somewhat fasciculate. <i>Anomodon viticulosus</i> seldom fruits in North America (only one fruiting specimen seen) or Asia, most likely because of the lack of male gametophytes in these regions (Í. Granzow-de la Cerda 1989). Only one North American specimen was seen with sporophytes; the description is from European and Asian material.</p>
