|discussion=<p><i>Orthotrichum pumilum</i> usually can be distinguished by the strongly ribbed capsules, reflexed peristome teeth, apiculate leaves with cells larger than 14 µm, and papillae that are very small or absent. In eastern North America, this taxon is uniform and non-variable, but in the West it is much more variable. Many western specimens have capsules that are oblong-cylindric, often strangulate, over 1/2 emergent, and gradually contracted to the seta.</p>
