|discussion=<p>Fontinalis antipyretica is stenotypic in eastern North America, where most collections conform to the gigantea expression that differs in its robust size and broad, overlapping leaves strongly curved along the keel. Most atypical western plants are variations on the oreganensis expression: medium-sized plants, weakly keeled stem leaves straight to slightly bent along the keel, apices frequently concave or plane and subobtuse or obtuse, and branch leaves occasionally concave or plane. The oreganensis expression is common along the west coast, but occurs sporadically throughout the range of the species. Fontinalis howellii and the oreganensis expression of F. antipyretica sometimes intergrade; both have stem leaves with keels typically straight beyond the basal curve and concave branch leaves. Fontinalis howellii differs in having larger plants; an abrupt transition from stem to branch leaf form; long, slender branch leaves; and loosely terete-foliate stem or branch apices that when dry lack the swollen, triangular appearance of stem or branch apices in F. antipyretica. The gracilis expression is slender (leaves 2–4 mm), loosely foliate, with lax to flaccid stems and weakly keeled (often concave) leaves. Plants of F. antipyretica found in swiftly moving streams often have leaves completely split along the keel and can be mistaken for F. hypnoides.</p>
