|discussion=<p><i>Gemmabryum badium</i> is similar to <i>G. caespiticium</i> but distinguished by much longer awns, more strongly concave leaves, and absence of rhizoidal tubers. <i>Gemmabryum badium</i> has only recently been recognized from collections in California and <i>Nevada</i>, and is likely to be found elsewhere in North America.</p>
