|discussion=<p><i>Fissidens pallidinervis</i> and <i>F. elegans</i> are the only species of the genus in North America with small, obscure, pluripapillose laminal cells. <i>Fissidens pallidinervis</i>, however, is distinguished by a rounded to broadly acute leaf apex, and a limbidium restricted to the lower parts of vaginant laminae of perichaetial and one or two pairs of subtending leaves. Axillary, stalked, multicellular, clavate gemmae have been reported in Japanese collections of <i>F. pallidinervis</i>.</p>
