--><p><i>Fabronia</i> is characterized by its very small size, ovate to oblong-lanceolate, long-acuminate, usually toothed leaves tipped with linear cells, rhomboidal laminal cells, and relatively short costa. However, because of the wide degree of morphological variability, especially within the <i>F. ciliaris</i> complex, <i>Fabronia</i> is taxonomically difficult. Discussions of <i>Fabronia</i> by H. A. Crum and L. E. Anderson (1981) and W. R. Buck (1994b) are enlightening with respect to taxonomic problems.</p>
