Orthorrhynchium elegans is a member of the Orthorrhynchiaceae family, a relatively small group of bryophytes. This species was originally published in 1868 by Hook.f. & Wilson and later revised by Reichardt. It is found in the NO region, where it grows in suitable habitats. The genus Orthorrhynchium is characterized by specific morphological traits, including leaf and capsule structure, which aid in its identification. As part of the Orthorrhynchiaceae, this species contributes to the diversity of mosses in its native range.
