Reference comment This species is easily recognized by the glaucous, stiffly erect leaves in 5 rows and the apically fused peristome teeth. ''Philonotis seriata'' (known only from Greenland in the flora area), shares the pentastichous leaf arrangement, but the leaf cells of ''Philonotis seriata'' are prorulose at the proximal ends and the peristome teeth are free.
