Sphagnum brevifolium - nový, dosud opomíjený druh rašeliníku v České republice

The specimens collected in the Czech Republic and determined as Sphagnum pulchrum (Lindb. ex Braithw.) Warnst, belong to S. brevifolium (Lindb. ex Brailhw.) Roll. S. pulchmm probably does not occur in the Czech Republic. S. brevifolium has been discovered in the material collected in localities in the Krušné hory Mts., the Jizerské hory Mts., the Krkonoše Mts., the Šumava Mts. and in the Františkovy Lázně and Třeboň areas. it is surely not rare species. Characteristics separating this species from S. pulchrum and a key for determination of all European species of Sphagnum recurvum — complex as well as related species are given.
