|discussion=<p><i>Hygrohypnum polare</i> is easily recognized by its strong, single costa and outer layer of thin-walled cortical cells in the stem. The quadrate alar cells and the usual leaf concavity provide confirmation. The plants grow in appressed turfs or loose patches that may be prostrate, ascending, or erect; the branches are usually fastigiate; and the alar cells have thin hyaline walls that become brown with age.</p>
