|discussion=<p>Sporophytes are rare in <i>Sphagnum lenense</i>. This species is easily distinguished from the similar <i>S. lindbergii</i> by its compact growth form and reddish brown color. <i>Sphagnum lenense</i> also is a hummock former in the tundra whereas <i>S. lindbergii</i> forms carpets.</p>
