[1.23
Sphagnum
contortum Schultz –
Paton (1969a: 708) noted that all available material
claimed as this species from vc1 and vc2 is 'S. subsecundum s. l.' i.e. S. denticulatum or S. inundatum. She also
mentioned that a letter from Curnow to Holt dated 1883 (DGS) states that S. austinii and S. laricinum (= S. contortum) from
Stabler and MacAndrew were 'planted in our moors'. There is no
evidence that either species survived in
Cornwall].
