Thuidium assimile is similar to our more common T. delicatulum, except that the stem leaves on T. assimile end in a 2-8 cell long hyaline hairpoint rather than simply being acute, and the perichaetial leaves are apparently not ciliate as they are on T. delicatulum. We found T. assimile in a canyon with perennial water at middle elevation in mixed conifer forest.
