Its stem is densely beset with narrow, broken-up leaves, a branch being emitted at every fourth leaf many of these are turned downwards and applied more or less closely to the stem. Description-Sphagnum is easily distinguished from other mosses by its habit ofgrowth, its soft thick fullness (each head resembling a full and elaborate bloom of edelweiss), and its vividly pale-green colour. It is seldom found in woods it grows best on heath moors, in water holes. It is found in wet and boggy spots, preferably on peat soil, mostly near heather, on all our mountains and moors, in patches small or large, usually in water free from lime, growing so close together that it often forms large cushions or clumps.
Sphagnum Moss, commonly known as Bog Moss, is the only true Moss that has yet proved itself to be of appreciable economic value.
Moss, Sphagnum Botanical: Sphagnum cymbifolium
