--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>moderate-sized, pale green, yellow-green to occasionally strongly reddish; growing in loose mats. <b>Stems</b> pale brown to green. <b>Stem</b> leaves very small, less than 0.8 mm, triangular with blunt rounded apex. <b>Branches</b> erect in distal portion of plants. <b>Branch</b> fascicles with 2 short-spreading and 3 long-tapering pendent branches. <b>Branch</b> leaves large, 2.8 mm or longer, sub-squarrose, ovate, involute to broad, truncate apex with more than 6 teeth; hyaline cells with up to 6 non-ringed pores on convex surface with few or no pseudopores, 2–4 elliptic ringed pores on concave surface in corners or along commissures, internal commissural walls minutely papillose (best viewed in oblique sections), rarely smooth; chlorophyllous cells narrowly triangular in transverse section, more broadly exposed on convex surface, enclosed on concave surface. <b>Sexual</b> condition monoicous. <b>Capsule</b> with abundant pseudostomata on surface of capsule. <b>Spores</b> 31–43 µm; coarsely papillose on both proximal and distal surfaces, raised Y-mark sculpture on distal surface; proximal laesura moderately long, 0.4–0.7 spore radius.</span><!--

|phenology=Capsules common, mature early to mid summer.

|discussion=<p>Though they seldom if ever overlap ecologically, <i>Sphagnum strictum</i> and <i>S. squarrosum</i> both usually have squarrose branch leaves, but <i>S. squarrosum</i> has a lingulate fringed stem leaf that differs greatly from the triangular and entire-margined stem leaf of <i>S. strictum</i>.</p>
