|discussion=<p><i>Thuidium tamariscinum</i> is a woodland species of relatively large and elegantly frondose plants. The branching is typically 3-pinnate but sometimes 2-pinnate or imperfectly 3-pinnate. The primary branch leaves are 2-plicate with somewhat recurved proximal margins and delicate costae. The secondary branch leaves have erect margins and weak costae. The laminal cells are stoutly 1-papillose, except that the apical cell of branch leaves is sharp and smooth.</p>
