|discussion=<p><i>Brachyelytrum erectum</i> grows in woodlands, occasionally over limestone bedrock, and in moist woods and forests. It extends from Lake of the Woods, Ontario, east to Newfoundland, and in the United States from Minnesota to New England and south to the Gulf Coast and Florida.</p><!--
--><p>Koyama and Kawano (1964), among others, treated <i>Brachyelytrum erectum</i> <i></i>var.<i> glabratum</i> (Vasey) T. Koyama & Kawano as the northern taxon <i>B. aristosum</i>, but the holotype of <i>B. erectum</i> <i></i>var.<i> glabratum</i> belongs to <i>B. erectum</i> sensu stricto. This means that, nomenclaturally, <i>B. erectum</i> <i></i>var.<i> glabratum</i> is a synonym of <i>B. erectum</i>, although most of the specimens identified as <i></i>var.<i> glabratum</i> belong to <i>B. aristosum</i>.</p>
