|discussion=<p>Forms of <i>Tortula subulata</i> may approach <i>T. mucronifolia</i> in the indistinct laminal border, though the laminal cells are quite papillose. The European <i></i>var.<i> angustata</i> (Schimper) Limpricht, characterized by narrower leaves, a more acute, denticulate apex, with a stronger border, is not recognized here because North American plants that approach this variant fully intergrade with the typical variety (see discussion by W. C. Steere 1939c). The former has recently been recognized on the basis of molecular data by M. J. Cano et al. (2005) under the name T. schimperi Cano, Werner & Guerra. The cladogram branch arrangement, however, had only a 0.77 posterior probability of not being imbedded among specimens of <i>T. subulata</i> and only one morphological trait (the 2-stratose basal leaf margin) was selected post hoc as meaningful, a multiple test problem in statistics. Of the six specimens of T. schimperi analyzed and molecularly segregated, four were from Europe and two from California, which indicates at least one shared molecular trait. Further research, however, is needed, given odd segregation patterns in <i>T. subulata</i> in the strict sense.</p>
