Notes (Last Modified On 5/6/2009)

general taxon notes:

In cross section, the apical cells of lamellae are plane and quadrate in Pogonatum perichaetiale. They are yellow, thick-walled, and densely papillose. These features are very similar to those of Pogonatum urnigerum (Hedw.) Beauv. Pogonatum perichaetiale differs from P. urnigerum by the spinose leaf apices.
