Sphagnum
From Natural History of Southeast Alaska
Scientific Name | Common Name | Summary |
---|---|---|
Sphagnum alaskense | ||
Sphagnum andersonianum | Andrus indicates this species is probably not common in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum angustifolium | Andrus indicates this species is common in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum aongstroemii | Andrus indicates this species is in Southeast, though it's not clear how common. Rock ledges are a common habitat. | |
Sphagnum austinii | Andrus says this species is common on hummock tops in Southeast Alaska. Worley treated S. imbricatum, but according to the FNA entry on Sphagnum imbricatum, it is primarily an Asian species with a single collection from Northwestern Alaska. S. austinii seems like the most likely option for collections previously identified as S. imbricatum. | |
Sphagnum balticum | Andrus indicates this species is uncommon in Southeast Alaska and probably not the same as the balticum in the arctic-subarctic. | |
Sphagnum bartlettianum | Andrus describes the abundance as scatterred in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum brevifolium | Andrus indicates this species probably widespread but not common in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum capillifolium | ||
Sphagnum centrale | BFNA indicates this species does not occur in Alaska. Possibly collections are in fact Sphagnum alaskense? | |
Sphagnum divinum | Formerly S. magellanicum https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03736687.2018.1474424?scroll=top&needAccess=true&journalCode=yjbr20 | |
Sphagnum fimbriatum | Andrus indicates this species is common in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum fuscum | ||
Sphagnum girgensohnii | ||
Sphagnum henryense | Andrus indicates there are only a couple of records of this species from Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum inexspectatum | Andrus indicates this species is common in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum inundatum | Andrus indicates this species is not common in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum lenense | Andrus indicates this species is rare in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum lindbergii | ||
Sphagnum mendocinum | Andrus indicates this species is common in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum obtusum | Andrus indicates this species is common near Yakutat. | |
Sphagnum pacificum | Andrus indicates this species is very common in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum palustre | Status of this species is unclear. Included in Worley as occuring in the Sitka area, but BFNA Account for Sphagnum palustre does not have it occuring in Alaska. | |
Sphagnum papillosum | ||
Sphagnum platyphyllum | Not in BFNA, recently described? Andrus indicates this species is not common in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum pseudopapillosum | Apparently not in BFNA. Andrus says: "pseudopapillosum"- an as yet undescribed but common species. grows around bases of hummocks and in dense carpet patches in blanket mires. Looks rather like compactum. Common on Sitka. | |
Sphagnum quinquefarium | ||
Sphagnum riparium | ||
Sphagnum rubellum | ||
Sphagnum rubiginosum | Andrus indicates this species is common, especially in forests in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum russowii | Andrus indicates this species is common in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum sitchense | Type specimen was collected on Harbor Mountain | |
Sphagnum sjorsianum | Andrus says this recently described species is uncommon and known from only Juneau and Ketchikan so far. | |
Sphagnum squarrosum | ||
Sphagnum subfulvum | Andrus indicates this species is scattered and rare in Southeast Alaska. | |
Sphagnum subnitens | Andrus described the abundance as "Scattered" | |
Sphagnum subsecundum | Andrus says: "per Jon Shaw, a different species separate from subsecundum in Eastern NA but call it this for now. maybe common" | |
Sphagnum tenellum | Andrus indicates this species is common in Southeast Alaska. | |
