|discussion=<p>Limbella fryei is distinguished by its multistratose and serrate margins, lack of paraphyllia, usual dendroid habit, and organic substrate in wetlands. The species bears a superficial resemblance to Climacium dendroides, Leucolepis acanthoneuron, and Pleuroziopsis ruthenica but none of these have the limbidia characteristic of Limbella. For many years, L. fryei was known only from the type locality, a more or less wet pasture, since destroyed by housing development. It is currently known from two small extant populations (J. A. Christy 1980; D. H. Wagner 2009).</p>
