REMARKS

Sphagnum cyclophyllum has a wide distribution in tropical America and southeastern North America. In Brazil, this species occurs on swampy soil or wet rock, in campo rupestre (Cerrado domain) and Atlantic Forest, at 600- 1200 m ( Flora do Brasil 2020). Characteristic are the absence of branches and lack of a capitulum at the stem tip, the very broad stem leaves with a cucullate apex and a distinct border of linear cells, and the numerous pores arranged in a continuous series along the margins of the hyalocysts.
