Discussion
Cyrto-hypnum minutulum is often confused with others in the family because of its wide range in eastern North America. In the southernmost part of the flora area, C. involvens is distinguished by quadrate-celled paraphyllia and a rough seta. Cyrto-hypnum pygmaeum is more delicate with elaborate branching, leaves erect when dry rather than more or less incurved, and papillose branches and stems. Rauiella scita has laminal cells strongly bulging, is more robust, 1-pinnate with larger, quadrate-celled paraphyllia, and has longer acuminate stem leaves. All the true species of Thuidium have branched paraphyllia and cells papillose only abaxially. Haplocladium (Leskeaceae) has 1-papillose laminal cells. Similarly, plants of Elodium blandowii (Helodiaceae) have 1-papillose laminal cells and are branched and long-celled.
