Discussion
Specimens of Cynodontium polycarpon generally found in American herbaria upon re-examination will likely be C. jenneri instead. The latter was once considered to be a variety of C. polycarpon, accounting for many distributional records of C. polycarpon in North America; for example, in the most recent Canadian checklist (R. R. Ireland et al. 1987), of 10 provincial reports only that for the Northwest Territories could be verified by the authors, and the remaining Canadian distribution cited above must be viewed, then, with skepticism. E. Nyholm (1986+, fasc. 1) stated that both C. polycarpon and C. strumiferum have somewhat smaller, less regularly quadrate cells in the distal portion of the leaf and a broadly recurved margin on at least one side of the leaf as opposed to the case of C. jenneri, which has rather regularly quadrate, transparent cells. According to Nyholm, laminal cells of C. polycarpon are 10–12(–14) µm wide, whereas those of C. jenneri are larger: 12–14(–20) µm. H. A. Crum and L. E. Anderson (1981) considered this species doubtfully present in North America. Cynodontium polycarpon subsp. fallax (Limpricht) Kindberg was excluded by Anderson et al. (1990).
