|discussion=<p><i>Fissidens pellucidus</i>, a species principally tropical in distribution, is best recognized by its shiny appearance and distinct, guttulate, regularly hexagonal laminal cells. The cell walls are smooth, although the guttulae can be mistaken for papillae. In addition, the leaf margin is elimbate except for an occasional weak limbidium on the proximal parts of perichaetial leaves, and the vaginant laminae either end ± midway between the costa and margin or are narrowed and end on the costa. The plants, especially the costae and stems, are often reddish.</p>
