|discussion=<p><i>Bartramia ithyphylla</i> is essentially an arctic-alpine species with disjunct populations in austral South America and the high mountains of Africa. In the flora area, the species frequents tundra and montane forest habitats with occasional occurrence at low to moderate elevations at northern latitudes. The glistening white leaf base is distinctive. The obscure costa in the distal limb and elongate distal laminal cells bearing low prorulae distinguish <i>B. ithyphylla</i> from other small species of the genus in the flora area. The distal leaves are sometimes divergent. Reports of <i>Bartramia</i> breviseta Lindberg [<i>B. ithyphylla</i> var. breviseta (Lindberg) Kindberg by some authors] from high elevations in Colorado likely represent misidentifications. In <i>B. breviseta</i> the capsules are overtopped by the perichaetial leaves (the seta is 1–3 mm), and the costa fills the acumen. As presently understood, <i>B. breviseta</i> is an arctic-alpine species of the Old World.</p>
