Fissidens wallisii is distinguished by vaginant lamina ca. 1/2 the leaf length, bordered (2-3 stratose) throughout or ending at the apex, serrulate-dentate margins near apex and distal portion of the vaginant lamina, percurrent costa, smooth, thick-walled laminal cells. This species was named in honor of Gustav Wallis (1830-1878), a German botanist who collected plants in Colombia and Ecuador. Wallis died of yellow fever in Cuenca, Ecuador. The type: Colombia. “Antioquia, Paramo de Ruiz, 10-12,000 pedes, 1872, Wallis s.n.” Antioquia at the time of Wallis was more inclusive, encompasing the departments of Caldas and Tolima.
 
Fissidens wallisii se distingue por la lámina vaginante alcanza ca. ½ del largo de la hoja, borde (con 2-3 estratos) completo o terminando en el ápice, márgenes serrulado-dentados cerca del ápice y la porción distal de la lámina vaginante, costa percurrente, células de la lámina lisas con paredes gruesas. Esta especie fue nombrada en honor a Gustav Wallis (1830-1878), un botánico alemán quien colectó plantas en Colombia y Ecuador. Wallis murió de fiebre amarilla en Cuenca, Ecuador.
