Discussion
Orthotrichum striatum is distinguished from its closest relatives, O. lyellii, O. pycnophyllum, and O. speciosum, by its ovate, smooth capsules, which are immersed even when dry. The exostome of O. striatum consists of 16 recurved teeth, and the endostome of 16 erose segments. In the flora area, O. striatum is restricted to the Pacific Northwest.
