|discussion=<p><i>Tortula deciduidentata</i> is known only from the type locality at Moller Bay and from Seguam Island, Aleutians (Bank 966, NY, as <i>Gymnostomum calcareum</i>). The perichaetial leaves have an excurrent costa with a truncate apex that appears apically discolored, but no deciduous parts were seen. This rare species is similar to 1a. <i>Tortula cuneifolia </i>var.<i> blissii</i>, and is further discussed there.</p>
