|discussion=<p>Plants of <i>Fontinalis sullivantii</i> in pools or slow moving streams have flaccid stems and limp, plane leaves; those in fast moving streams have rigid stems and stiff, subtubular branch leaves. Plants of <i>F. sullivantii</i> can vary considerably in branching pattern (regular or sparse) and stem leaf length (4 or more versus 3 or less mm). <i>Fontinalis sullivantii</i> has four major expressions (B. H. Allen 1991) that have somewhat discrete ranges. Recognizing them at the species level is unwarranted because of many collections of intermediate morphology.</p><!--
--><p><i>Fontinalis dalecarlica</i> resembles rigid forms of <i>F. sullivantii</i> but has monomorphic leaves that are strongly concave when moist and flattened when dry, with narrowly reflexed margins. <i>Fontinalis welchiana</i> and the aestivalis expression of <i>F. sphagnifolia</i> often have weakly dimorphic leaves and can have the same flaccid aspect as <i>F. sullivantii</i>. They differ in having strongly concave branch leaves with erect to incurved apical margins. <i>Fontinalis redfearnii</i> is the only other <i>Fontinalis</i> species with such strongly dimorphic leaves. <i>Fontinalis redfearnii</i> differs from all forms of <i>F. sullivantii</i> in having broadly obtuse stem leaf apices.</p>
