|discussion=<p><i>Schistidium cinclidodonteum</i> and the closely related <i>S. occidentale</i> are characterized by the long, often linear-lanceolate and falcate leaves. Both species often form large, rather flat mats over rock along watercourses. The proboscis-like (discussed in S. Flowers 1973) fleshy apiculus distinguishes the two from all other species of the genus except <i>S. crassithecium</i>, which differs in having a much smaller apiculus, and more erect, ovate-lanceolate leaves. Examination of the type of <i>Grimmia</i> pacifica, not recognized here, reveals that the only salient difference between that taxon and <i>S. cinclidodonteum</i> is the presence of a short, denticulate awn.</p>
