The paper presents new records of scarce Sphagnum species from the northern part of the Western Carpathians in Slovakia. The suboceanic species Sphagnum affine occurs in Slovakia at the limit of its distribution and is one of the rarest Sphagnum species in Slovakia. In 2016 the species was newly found in a moderately rich fen at the locality U Padyšáka in the Kysuce region and was confirmed after 45 years at the locality of Slaná voda in the Orava region. The paper also reports an occurrence of Sphagnum centrale in the Liptov Basin at the localities Pod Suchým Hrádkom, Švihrová and Chraste pri Dúbrave it also presents data on the prevalence of other Sphagnum species in the region.
