|discussion=<p>Apart from Bucklandiella microcarpa, B. sudetica is the most common species of the genus in North America. It is highly variable, with a number of morphotypes to which, in the past, taxonomic status was given. Some morphological and anatomical structures exhibit consistency, making B. sudetica a fairly well-defined species, difficult to confuse with others of the genus. It is best characterized by its slender, sparsely branched stems; short and narrow leaves; muticous or short (to 0.4 mm) hyaline awns; leaf margins recurved and 2-stratose distally with frequent 1-stratose patches; relatively narrow costa that is distinctly convex on the abaxial surface and semi-terete in transverse section, 2–3-stratose near the apex, 3–4-layered in the proximal part, with 3–4 enlarged adaxial cells; distal leaf cells tending to be short or very short, quadrate to short-rectangular; and basal laminal cells mostly sinuose-walled to the insertion.</p><!--
--><p>One of the most distinctive phenotypes of Bucklandiella sudetica consists of robust plants with an always strong costa and prominently thickened leaf margins. They are sometimes designated as forma kindbergii (Frisvoll) Ochyra & Bednarek-Ochyra (A. A. Frisvoll 1988; H. Bednarek-Ochyra 1995) and are scattered throughout the southern distribution area of the species growing in the same habitats as typical plants of B. sudetica. They appear to be intermediate between the typical form of the species and B. macounii, and are characterized by being muticous or with short awns, to 0.15 mm; 2-stratose leaf margins for 1–3(–5) cell rows, with occasional 3–4-stratose spots for 1–2 cell rows; and a robust costa, 70–90 µm wide basally, which is sometimes irregular in outline and 3(–4)-stratose in the base and 3(–4)-stratose in the middle. However, on account of the dark green or dark olivaceous color and slender habit of the plants, entirely hyaline awns, leaf margins recurved on both sides, predominantly 3-stratose costa, and strongly pseudopapillose laminal cells, these plants are considered as a variant of B. sudetica. The opposite phenotype of B. sudetica consists of epigean and robust plants with 1-stratose leaf margins, and a narrow (55–85 µm in the base) and thin (2–3-stratose basally) costa. They may be mistaken for B. microcarpa, which, however, is a strongly branched plant with a flexuose awn, prominent pellucid basal marginal borders, and less sinuose cells towards the base of the leaf.</p>
