|discussion=<p><i>Grimmia plagiopodia</i> has a widespread and continuous distribution on calcareous rock across the northern Great Plains, reaching as far east as Illinois. It is rare in eastern North America, with a disjunct site in southern Ontario. In the west it reaches into the mountains on limestone and basic sandstone deposits, but its continuous range does not extend west of a line from Utah to south-central British Columbia. There is a disjunct location near Carson City, <i>Nevada</i> and Lake Tahoe, California. In the Arctic it is known from a few scattered localities extending from northwestern Greenland and nearby Ellesmere Island to the North Slope of Alaska. Compared to <i>G. anodon</i>, <i>G. plagiopodia</i> tends to occupy more prairie-like sites and is typically found at lower elevations. Commonly fertile, it is recognized by its immersed, peristomate capsule on a sigmoid seta with fully-developed teeth that are perforated and split distally. <i>Grimmia americana</i> is similar but has a short, straight to arcuate seta and a large annulus. The other widespread species in the group, <i>G. anodon</i>, has an annulus and is gymnostomous.</p>
