--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>moderate-sized to robust, capitulum compact and well rounded in open-grown forms, lax to somewhat compact; green in shade forms to golden yellow to golden brown in open-grown forms, occasionally with a pinkish tinge; lawns, loose low hummocks to larger, ± firm hummocks. <b>Stems</b> pale brown to brown, superficial cortical cells with spiral reinforcing fibrils clearly visible, 2 pores or more per cell, comb-fibrils lacking on interior wall. <b>Stem</b> leaves to 1.2–2.2 × 0.8–1 mm; rarely hemiisophyllous; hyaline cells non-ornamented, rarely septate, comb-lamellae absent. <b>Branches</b> tapering, leaves spreading to somewhat imbricate. <b>Branch</b> fascicles with 2 spreading and 1–2 pendent branches. <b>Branch</b> stems with cortical cells non-ornamented, no or weak funnel-like projections on the interior end walls, often with large round pores on the superficial walls. <b>Branch</b> leaves broadly ovate, to 1.7 × 1.5 mm; hyaline cells non-ornamented, convex surface with elliptic to rarely round pores along the commissures; chlorophyllous cells lenticular to narrowly elliptical in transverse section, narrowly exposed on both ends, but more so on concave surface, end walls thickened at both ends. <b>Sexual</b> condition dioicous. <b>Capsule</b> with inconspicuous pseudostomata. <b>Spores</b> 23–30 µm; surface finely roughened to smooth; laesura on proximal surface more than 0.5 spore radius.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Sphagnum centrale</i> is most similar to <i>S. alaskense</i> but seems to have no range overlap with that species and is also considerably more minerotrophic. In the field it lacks the often reddish tinge of <i>S. palustre</i> and is larger than <i>S. affine</i>. See also discussion under 2. <i>S. alaskense</i> and 9. <i>S. papillosum</i>.</p>
