|discussion=<p>Rosulabryum rubens was probably introduced from Europe and is likely to be more widely distributed in temperate North America than records indicate. Although R. rubens was originally considered related to Gemmabryum subapiculatum, morphology as well as recent molecular work support a position near R. capillare.</p>
