|discussion=<p>The copious filamentous brood bodies, covering the stem in sterile plants or only on the lower stem of fertile plants, will quickly identify <i>Encalypta procera</i> in North America, which includes specimens identified as the Old World species E. streptocarpa Hedwig, now excluded. The capsules of <i>E. procera</i> are spirally ribbed with a long, double peristome. Vegetative leaves are generally mucronate and somewhat cucullate, but some plants have leaves with short awns at the apex associated with the generally awned perichaetial leaves.</p>
