|discussion=<p>Known from about ten localities, <i>Leptohymenium sharpii</i> is endemic to the Southern Appalachian Mountains and is apparently rare. Although <i>L. sharpii</i> was originally described as a variety of <i>Hylocomium splendens</i>, the stems and branches lack paraphyllia. Over the past thirty years <i>Leptohymenium sharpii</i> has been moved from one genus to another. The occasionally sympodial innovations, decurrent leaves, and prorulate laminal cells suggest that it belongs in <i>Leptohymenium</i>. Finding plants with sporophytes would aid greatly in resolving generic placement of this puzzling species.</p>
