|discussion=<p>Pohlia ludwigii is a rare alpine species, often found in habitats similar to those of P. obtusifolia and characterized by strongly decurrent leaves that are often slightly cucullate apically. The older lower leaves generally have a pink to reddish tinge. The leaf apices are acute to bluntly acute; the endostome segments are papillose; and the perichaetial leaf costae are very strong at their bases. In late snowmelt areas, P. ludwigii can form deep cushions when sterile.</p>
