Orange Peatmoss (Sphagnum subsecundum)Observer
andrewmeltonDescription
In the field I thought this was going to be Sphagnum contortum, but stem section rules this out. All fits with Sphagnum Subsecundum again instead.

What
Austin's Sphagnum (Sphagnum austinii)Observer
andrewmeltonDescription
Another example of sphagnum Austinii. Raised hummock which is hard when you press on it. Very tightly packed. What is particularly unusual is the presence of capsules which are meant to be very rare. Could be that the capsules are coming from other species mixed in. Can certainly see S. Capillifolium.
