563B87E93A617D7FFCF1FA64FCAFFB67.taxon	description	Plants medium-sized to robust, pale green with brownish-pinkish tint. Capitulum typically flattered sometimes with aggregated branches of the inner part, terminal bud slightly visible. Stem brown to dark brown, hyalodermis well differentiated, superficial cortical layer with distinct spiral reinforcing fibrils, and usually with 4 – 6 pores per cell. Sclerodermis well delimited, consisting of small thick-walled cells, dark-yellow to brown. Stem leaves lingulate-spatulate with broad rounded apex, 1.7 – 2.2 (– 2.4) mm long and 0.9 – 1.2 mm wide, border fringed, hyaline cells rhomboid, efibrillose, typically resorbed or have the rests of cell walls with fibrils and pores. Branch fascicles with 2 (– 3) spreading and 2 pendent branches. Spreading branches quite tapering with spreading to moderately imbricate leaves, which are sometimes squarrose when dry. Branch leaves in the middle part of spreading branches ovate, 1.9 – 2.8 mm long and 1.4 – 1.9 (– 2.2) mm wide, apex cucullate; hyaline cells on the internal surface smooth or have worm-like ornamentation; on convex surface with 10 – 15 (– 18) round to elliptic pores 12 – 15 (– 17) µm long and 9 – 13 µm wide in two rows along commissures; on concave surface with several large round pores across the lateral leaf margins; chlorophyllous cells in branch leaf transverse section isosceles-triangular to ovate triangular, widely open on concave surface and open or slightly enclosed on convex surface. Differentiation Sphagnum henryense can be confused with S. palustre s. str., S. centrale and S. papillosum in the field. Microscopically S. henryense clearly differs by its triangular chlorophyllous cells of branch leaves in transverse section, while S. centrale has elliptical cells. Sphagnum papillosum typically has a prominent papillosity on internal walls of hyaline cells of the branch leaves which is absent in S. henryense. Sphagnum palustre s. str. is most 100 µm F E similar to S. henryense, however the numerous small pores localized in two rows along commissures in convex side of the branch leaves clearly separate the latter from S. palustre s. str., which typically has a less number of longer elliptic pores adjacent to commissures.	en	Shkurko, A.
