|discussion=<p><i>Palustriella falcata</i> is widespread in the northwest, less common in the northeast, and absent in northern-central and high-Arctic areas. The species has been misunderstood in North America; most specimens identified as P. commutata (Hedwig) Ochyra [synonym <i>Cratoneuron</i> commutatum], and the few P. decipiens (Notaris) Ochyra records, belong to this species. A specimen in the herbarium of the Missouri Botanical Garden, with the locality "Salem" on the label, apparently from North Carolina, belongs to P. commutata. However, because the original label information does not indicate that the specimen was collected in North America, its true origin is doubtful.</p>
