Comments:
This taxon is included in Crum and Anderson (1981) as Atrichum undulatum var. altecristatum, which has since been elevated to the binomial A. altecristatum with A. undulatum sensu stricto being a European species introduced to N. America. A. undulatum is still in wide use on specimens from NC.
