Discussion
Hypnum procerrimum has an interrupted distribution in Arctic and alpine areas of the Northern Hemisphere, usually in well-drained sites. Plants of H. procerrimum have blunt, weakly toothed pseudoparaphyllia and triangular alar regions; the medial laminal cells are linear-flexuose with somewhat pitted walls. The species is very distinctive; some small forms might be confused with Ctenidium molluscum, but the toothed leaves and the laminal cells often with projecting distal ends distinguish the latter.
