Discussion
Orthotrichum parvulum is most frequent in the central highlands of Missouri and Arkansas. The species differs from O. strangulatum (with 2–7-stratose leaf margins) and O. lescurii (with revolute, 1-stratose leaf margins) in having plane leaf margins and completely 1-stratose distal laminal cells. The stomata are found in the distal capsule, almost covered by subsidiary cells, and the endostome segments are hyaline.
