|discussion=<p>In the flora area, <i>Porotrichum bigelovii</i> is immediately distinguished from other dendroid mosses by its soft appearance due to the complanate leaves and stem. In addition, the costa narrowing toward the apex separates <i>P. bigelovii</i> from species of <i>Thamnobryum</i>.</p>
