|discussion=<p><i>Pterygoneurum ovatum</i> is the most common species of the genus and serves to stabilize arid soils (S. Flowers 1973). The setae may reach 3 mm. Faint thickenings reminiscent of a rudimentary peristome can sometimes be found associated with spore sac remnants dug out of the operculum, and the laminal distal cells may by simply papillose abaxially as in <i>P. lamellatum</i>. R. T. Wareham (1939) found the characters of <i>Pterygoneurum ovatum</i> <i></i>var.<i> incanum</i> Juratzka, the long awns and short setae, inconstant in both American and European material.</p>
