|discussion=<p><i>Abietinella abietina</i> is the easiest of the <i>Thuidium</i>-like plants to recognize in the flora area, in part because of its distinctive habitat requirements. The stems are 1-pinnate, erect-ascending, and often occur in extensive, lax mats. Paraphyllia are abundant on stems and branches, but are usually not nearly as strongly branched as in <i>Thuidium</i> in the narrow sense. <i>Abietinella abietina</i> is widespread throughout the northern part of the flora. The capsules of this species are very rare. Unlike <i>Thuidium</i>, <i>Abietinella</i> is papillose on both leaf surfaces rather than just the back.</p>
