Discussion

Homalotheciella subcapillata is distinguished as small, glossy, creeping, pinnate plants bearing leaves with long, slender tips crowded on short branches. The species is easy to recognize under the microscope by its leaves with denticulate margins, weak costa, and quadrate alar cells. The delicately haired calyptra also is distinctive among Brachytheciaceae, as most species of the family have naked calyptrae. Pylaisiella selwynii (Hypnaceae) can be very similar to H. subcapillata, but differs in its more regularly curved branches and ecostate entire-margined leaves.
