|discussion=<p>The type collection of <i>Wolffiella gladiata</i>, from Mexico City, is taxonomically identical with plants from Florida called <i>W. gladiata</i> <i></i>var.<i> floridana</i> by J. D. Smith. Some authors included narrow specimens of <i>W. oblonga</i> in <i>W. gladiata</i>, causing confusion.</p><!--
--><p>I know of no specimens of <i>Wolffiella gladiata</i> from Rhode Island.</p>
