Abstract
Grimmia mexicana Greven is characterized by obtuse to rounded or subcucullate leaf apices and by the outer plates of the peristome teeth that are smooth and hyaline or transluscent. These and other morphological differences distinguish it from G. ochyriana Muñoz that is thus excluded from the neotropical moss flora.Keywords
