|discussion=<p>In North America, <i>Grimmia trichophylla</i> is principally a lowland species, occurring in the mountains up to about 1000 m., rarely higher. In the Southern Hemisphere, it may be found up to 4000 m. In New Zealand, the species is common, and in contrast to <i>G. trichophylla</i> in North America, frequently bears capsules. The New Zealand plants are usually smaller than American specimens, and the leaves are frequently contorted. The nearly cosmopolitan <i>G. trichophylla</i> has many phenotypes, and numerous subspecies and varieties have been described. In damp and shaded habitats, the awns may be short, just as in dry unfavorable habitats at high altitudes, where stunted specimens may occur with small, short leaves and reduced awns, or even with muticous leaves. <i>Grimmia trichophylla</i> has frequently been confused with related species such as 36. <i>G. muehlenbeckii</i> and 34. <i>G. lisae</i> (see discussions thereunder for identification details). Robust forms of <i>G. trichophylla</i> have been mistaken for G. austrofunalis (H. C. Greven 1997, 2003), which does not occur in North America. Although some of those plants have leaves of equal length along the stem, characteristic of G. austrofunalis, they also have both leaf margins recurved, and the medial and outer basal laminal cells are longer and more robust than in that species.</p>
