|discussion=<p>Capsules of <i>Rosulabryum elegans</i> have not been reported from the flora area. The plants are typically dark green with somewhat julaceous stems, but in shaded moist areas the stems become looser with more widely set and somewhat twisted paler green decurrent leaves. These latter plants have been named <i>Bryum</i> stirtonii, but they intergrade completely with <i>R. elegans</i> from drier more exposed sites.</p>
