Discussion
Plagiomnium carolinianum and P. undulatum, an apparent introduction in British Columbia, are differentiated from other species of Plagiomnium by their long, usually oblong-lingulate or lingulate leaves, which are transversely undulate when moist, and the relatively small size of the laminal cells. Plagiomnium undulatum, to date known only from south-coastal British Columbia, is a much larger plant than P. carolinianum with longer leaves, and its erect stems often branch distally, forming irregular, palm treelike heads. While other species of Plagiomnium have straight capsules, the capsules of P. carolinianum are slightly curved when dry.
