|discussion=<p><i>Seligeria calcarea</i> is relatively common in eastern North America from Newfoundland south to Arkansas, and known from a few stations in western Canada and Montana. While its long, stoutly subulate leaves are quite similar to those of <i>S. donniana</i>, the leaf margins of <i>S. calcarea</i> are entire and those of <i>S. donniana</i> are denticulate. The sporophytes of <i>S. calcarea</i> are generally distinctive: the capsules gradually contract to the seta though a shriveled neck, a well-developed peristome is present, and the length of the capsule equals or slightly exceeds the width. <i>Seligeria calcarea</i> is distinguished from <i>S. pusilla</i> in having a subula filled by an expanded costa, whereas the latter has a slender costa ending in the apex.</p>
