|discussion=<p>As with <i>Weissia ludoviciana</i>, the gametophyte of <i>W. muhlenbergiana</i> is like that of <i>W. brachycarpa</i>, but differs to some extent in the distal leaf margins occasionally sharply inflexed. If the sporophyte has a hybrid origin, then the archegoniate parent has characteristics of both <i>W. controversa</i> and <i>W. brachycarpa</i>. The hybrid W. muehlenbergiana × <i>W. controversa</i> was reported by C. Williams (1966).</p>
