Discussion
Plants of Dichelyma falcatum are the largest in the genus. Critical features include strongly ranked, usually acute, lanceolate leaves that vary from erect to somewhat falcate at the stem and branch apices, exserted capsules, and perfect endostomial trellises; the leaves are about the same length as those of the other species but much broader. Dichelyma pallescens is often confused with D. falcatum, but the latter usually occurs on bark rather than rock and boulders. Both D. falcatum and D. uncinatum have long-excurrent leaves and exserted capsules with perfect endostomial trellises; D. uncinatum has more slender leaves that are strongly secund to circinate at the stem and branch apices.
