Discussion
Bruchia bolanderi has an elongate capsule neck that is reminiscent of that of Trematodon, but the capsule is cleistocarpic. Unlike in other species of the genus, the capsules of both B. bolanderi and B. vogesiaca have a weak but not functioning line of dehiscence where a capsule mouth might be.
