Sphagnum apopenneysii B.C. Tan, Ignatov, Ignatova, & B. Mishler is described as a species new to science. It was found submerged in a high mountain lake, at 2385 m elev. on Mt. Apo on Mindanao island in the Philippines. The new species is peculiar in its poor expression of leaf cell dimorphism. Cells in the upper half of the branch leaves are all i...

... and S. balticum (Russow) C.E.O.Jensen, but differs in terms of longer spreading branches, and the branch leaves. Also, in S. jensenii the stem cortex is differentiated, and the small pores on the convex side of the leaf are more likely to be distributed in 1 rather than in 2 rows (Laine et al. 2018 (Bastien & Garneau 1997;Hill et al. 2006;Ignatov et al. 2006;Sabovljević et al. 2008;Séneca & Söderström 2009;Hodgetts 2015;Tan et al. 2018;Hodgetts et al. 2020).

Sphagnum jensenii, S. fallax var. isoviitae, and S. pylaesii were found as new to Turkey and Southwest Asia following a bryological field trip to the Giresun province
of Turkey. Sphagnum fallax var. isoviitae was also new to Asia. Descriptions, illustrations, world distribution, ecology, and comparisons with related species are
presented.
