--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>moderate-sized to robust, strong-stemmed, lax to somewhat compact, capitulum somewhat flattened to more typically compact and rounded; green to golden brown to pale brown with often a pinkish tinge; carpets to more or less compact, low to moderate sized hummocks. <b>Stems</b> brown, superficial cortical cells with spiral reinforcing fibrils visible, usually 2–4 pores per cell, comb-fibrils lacking on interior wall. <b>Stem</b> leaves to 1.7 × 1 mm, occasionally longer; rarely hemiisophyllous; hyaline cells non-ornamented, nonseptate. <b>Branches</b> long and tapering, leaves ± imbricate to spreading in shade forms. <b>Branch</b> fascicles with 2 spreading and 2 pendent branches. <b>Branch</b> stems with hyaline cells non-ornamented; no or weak funnel-like projections on the interior end walls, often with 1 large pore per cell on superficial cell walls. <b>Branch</b> leaves broadly ovate, 2.2 × 1.3 mm, hyaline cells non-ornamented, convex surface with elliptic pores along the commissures, chlorophyllous cells isosceles-triangular to ovate-triangular in transverse section and just enclosed to just exposed on the convex surface; end wall not thickened. <b>Sexual</b> condition dioicous. <b>Capsule</b> with numerous pseudostomata. <b>Spores</b> 24–33 µm, surface finely papillose to smooth, distal surface with distinct bifurcated Y-mark sculpture; proximal laesura more than 0.6 spore radius.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Sphagnum palustre</i> may occur elsewhere than listed above, but the taxonomy is unclear. In some open-grown situations, it may have a reddish tinge and seem similar to <i>S. magellanicum</i>, but this is a pinkish red color rather than the purplish red of the latter. See discussions under 5. <i>S. henryense</i> and 9. <i>S. papillosum</i> for distinction from those species.</p>
