--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>moderate-sized to robust, somewhat lax in shade forms to quite compact and stiff in open grown forms; green to pinkish green to reddish purple; forms lawns in shaded habitats and low to moderately tall, dense hummocks in open habitats. <b>Stems</b> green to purplish red, superficial cortical cells with spiral reinforcing fibrils clearly visible, usually 1 or 2 pores per cell, comb-fibrils lacking on interior wall. <b>Stem</b> leaves to 2 × 0.7 mm; rarely hemiisophyllous; hyaline cells non-ornamented, mostly nonseptate. <b>Branches</b> long and tapering to short and pointed, leaves loosely imbricate. <b>Branch</b> fascicles with 2–3 spreading and 2–3 pendent branches. <b>Branch</b> stems with hyaline cells non-ornamented; no or weak funnel-like projections on the interior end walls, large round pores on superficial cell walls. <b>Branch</b> leaves broadly ovate, to 2 × 1 mm or more wide, broadly ovate, hyaline cells non-ornamented, convex surface with round to elliptic pores along the commissures; chlorophyllous cells short-elliptic in transverse section and well-enclosed on both surfaces. <b>Sexual</b> condition dioicous. <b>Capsule</b> with numerous pseudostomata. <b>Spores</b> 22–30 µm; roughly papillose to nearly smooth, with distinct Y-mark sculpture on distal surface; proximal laesura 0.5–0.8 spore radius.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>As the only boreal species of the section with a reddish purple color, <i>Sphagnum magellanicum</i> is usually easy to identify. The branch leaf chlorophyll cells are capable of being confused only with those of <i>S. alaskense</i>, which are less enclosed on both surfaces, and <i>S. centrale</i>, which has thickened end walls on the chlorophyll cells that give them a narrow exposure on the concave surface.</p>
