|discussion=<p><i>Buckiella undulata</i> is a large, distinctive species very common in the flora area from southern Alaska extending westward to Attu Island, south to northern California and inland to Idaho. <i>Buckiella undulata</i> is best recognized by its light green or whitish green color, large stems, often 15+ cm × 1–7 mm, strongly undulate, ovate to ovate-lanceolate large leaves, and large, inclined to pendulous, arcuate, cylindric, light to orange-brown capsule exserted on a long seta. Microscopically, the species is distinguished by laminal cells covered with granular, cuticular papillae, visible at 400× or greater magnification. <i>Buckiella undulata</i> was previously placed in the genus <i>Plagiothecium</i> in Plagiotheciaceae, but the cells of all species in that genus have completely smooth laminal cells.</p>
