Revision as of 17:08, 18 September 2019
Plants medium-sized to large, light green to yellow-green, glossy. Stems 4–10 cm, orange-brown to reddish, procumbent to suberect, sparsely branched, regularly pinnate, branches 1.5 cm; hyalodermis absent, central strand weakly differentiated; pseudoparaphyllia foliose. Stem leaves falcate-secund, ovate, narrowing to apex, 1.5–2.5 × 0.7–0.8 mm; base slightly decurrent, auriculate, sometimes only on one side; margins plane, sinuate to entire basally, gradually weakly toothed near apex; acumen relatively broad; costa double, short; alar cells few, region well defined, often excavate, in 1–3 rows across base; basal laminal cells broader than medial cells, pigmented, walls not porose; medial cells 70–80 × 4–5 µm. Sexual condition dioicous; inner perichaetial leaves lanceolate to subulate. Seta orange-yellow to brownish when mature, 2–4.5 cm. Capsule inclined to horizontal, reddish, obovoid-cylindric, 2.5–3 mm; annulus broad, 2-seriate; operculum conic; endostome cilia 2 or 3.
Phenology: Capsules mature Jul–Aug.

Discussion
Hypnum curvifolium might be confused with H. lindbergii; it differs in its more plumose branching, more circinate leaves, and lack of stem hyalodermis. Also, H. lindbergii has a more extensive and often decurrent alar region. Hypnum imponens is distinguishable by its usually smaller habit size and toothed pseudoparaphyllia. Hypnum curvifolium has stems 0.5–3 mm wide; the leaves are curved to the insertion with enlarged, hyaline alar cells; the supra-alar cells are ovoid to triangular and smaller than the alar cells; the laminal cells are sometimes projecting abaxially at the distal ends; the capsules are plicate when dry; and the endostome cilia are nodulose. Sporophytes are produced in summer.
