|discussion=<p>Populations of <i>Plagiomnium ciliare</i> having leaves with poorly developed marginal teeth appear to be fairly common and are often difficult to identify. When well developed, the teeth are straight-sided, fingerlike, and sometimes perpendicular to the margins. The usually long-decurrent leaf bases separate this species from <i>P. ellipticum</i> and <i>P. rostratum</i>. The rounded marginal teeth and, in many instances, the rounded leaf apices separate it from <i>P. medium</i>, the species most commonly confused with it in herbaria. <i>Plagiomnium ciliare</i> and <i>P. ellipticum</i> were considered by H. A. Crum and L. E. Anderson (1981) to be varieties of <i>Mnium</i> affine Blandow ex Funck [<i>Plagiomnium</i> affine (Blandow ex Funck) T. J. Koponen]. However, P. affine is a Eurasian species that is absent from North America.</p>
