|discussion=<p>The name Barbula bolleana replaces the long familiar B. ehrenbergii (J.-P. Frahm et al. 1996). The lax, largely smooth distal leaf cells, easily seen with the dissecting microscope, distinguish this hygrophilic species. Specimens with largely quadrate distal laminal cells may appear to have a weak intramarginal border along the leaf base of somewhat elongate cells. This species may be confused with Didymodon tophaceus, which generally has smaller leaf cells (9–12 µm wide) in fewer longitudinal rows (10–15 for D. tophaceus, 20–30 for B. bolleana), and often has long-decurrent leaf margins. Barbula indica is rarely also tufa forming. A specimen (Patterson 2185, NY) previously reported for Virginia (Frederick County) is Didymodon tophaceus.</p>
