Discussion:

Bryum renauldii is an rheophilous species with distant, soft, obtuse, nearly entire leaves. Its upper marginal leaf cells are rectangular and somewhat longer than the irregularly quadrate inner cells and so the leaves appear to be weakly bordered. Bryum limbatum is also found in or along streams and is similar in aspect to B. renauldii, but it differs in having a well-developed border (to 5 cells wide) of long, linear, thick‑walled cells and serrate to serrulate leaf margins. Bryum incrassatolimbatum, another species with obtuse leaf apices similar to B. renauldii, has thin‑walled, lax, and bulging cells throughout and a multistratose leaf limbidium consisting of enlarged, thin‑walled, and bulging short‑rectangular cells.
