sphagnum cuspidatum latin

The aquatic bog moss Sphagnum cuspidatum has been recorded in the hollows of the bog.

Feathery Bog-moss (Sphagnum cuspidatum)

In the Schlenken, for example, Sphagnum cuspidatum is found, whereas the Bulten are preferred by Sphagnum magellanicum.

NVC community M2 (Sphagnum cuspidatum/recurvum bog pool community) is one of the mire communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system.

The building of a crushed-limestone road nearby changed the acidity of the conditions and the moss Sphagnum cuspidatum, which hosted the nymphs of the White-faced Darter, disappeared.
