|discussion=<p>In the range of <i>Sphagnum talbotianum</i>, there are potentially three other species of sect. Acutifolia with quinquefarious branch leaves. <i>Sphagnum rubellum</i> has branch leaves somewhat subsecund and less strictly 5-ranked. It is also not clear whether there is even range overlap. <i>Sphagnum quinquefarium</i> has a more triangular stem leaf, and has some branch fascicles with three spreading branches. <i>Sphagnum warnstorfii</i> is most similar but macroscopically has a somewhat larger stem leaf. Microscopically, <i>S. warnstorfii</i> is readily distinguished by its tiny branch leaf pores.</p>
