folium and S. recurvum have similar ranges and ecology. In S. angustifolium the stem leaves are more triangular and rarely erose while the branch leaves are narrower and more strongly 5-ranked (McQueen & Andrus, 2006). Sphagnum recurvum also has narrower and more distinctly 5-ranked branch leaves than S. flexuosum, as well as a much more strongly differentiated stem cortex. In S. flexuosum the branch leaves are only slightly recurved when dry whereas in S. recurvum they are sharply recurved (McQueen & Andrus, 2006). Until now, none of these species of the European S. recurvum complex has been identified in the Azores.
