Sphagnum

Sphagnum quinquefarium Warnstorf 1886

Comments

provided by eFloras
Sporophytes are common in Sphagnum quinquefarium. This species is usually associated with S. capillifolium, S. girgensohnii, and S. russowii. No other species of sect. Acutifolia has the combination of quinquefarious branch leaves and three spreading branches per fascicle. Sphagnum rubiginosum has three spreading branches but the branch leaves are quite unranked and its lingulate stem leaf is quite distinct from the triangular stem leaf of S. quinquefarium. See also discussion under 86. S. talbotianum.

Description

provided by eFloras
Plants variable in size, color, and habit, sometimes up to 20 cm high, usually grayish green or bright green, tinged with pinkish or purple. Stem cortex in 3–4 layers, hyaline cells large and thin-walled, without fibrils, with large membrane gaps; central cylinder yellowish green. Stem leaves 1.0–1.5 mm × 0.7–0.9 mm, variable, usually broad at base, isosceles- or equilateral-triangular, abruptly narrowed to a blunt apex, sometimes apiculate and dentate at the apex; margins involute near the apex, borders narrow above, clearly widened near the base; hyaline cells rhomboidal, often divided, usually fibrillose and porose in the upper cells. Branches often in fascicles of 5, with 3 spreading. Branch leaves 1.0–1.3 mm × 0.3–0.5 mm, clearly arranged in 5 rows, erect-spreading, ovate-lanceolate, cucullate-concave, blunt, dentate at the apex; margins bordered by 2–3 rows of linear cells, shiny when dry; hyaline cells fibrillose, with small, unringed pores at the corners, becoming larger near margins on the ventral surface, with half-elliptic, ringed pores at the opposite ends along commissural rows on the dorsal surface; green cells in cross section triangular or trapezoidal, exposed on the ventral surface. Monoicous; antheridial branches short, reddish, globose at the tips; perigonial leaves similar to the vegetative branch leaves. Perichaetial leaves large, broadly ovate, blunt at the apex, borders wide; hyaline cells divided, without fibrils and pores. Spores yellowish brown, smooth, 21–25 µm in diameter.

Description

provided by eFloras
Plants moderate-sized, typically stiff and compact, capitulum usually hemispherical; green, grayish white, pale yellow, purplish red, may have a slight metallic luster when dry. Stems pale green or yellowish, rarely red-tinged; superficial cortical cells mostly aporose, but some cells may have a single oval to elliptic pore-like wall thinning in the distal portion of the cell. Stem leaves triangular to triangular-lingulate, 1-1.3 mm, apex acute to slightly obtuse, border broad at base (more than 0.25 width); hyaline cells narrowly rhomboid, mostly 0-1-septate and mostly efibrillose. Branches usually strongly 5-ranked. Branch fascicles with mostly 3 spreading and 1-2 pendent branches. Branch leaves ovate to ovate-lanceolate, 1.1-1.5 mm, concave, straight, apex slightly involute; hyaline cells on convex surface with numerous oval to elliptic pores along commissures grading from small pores near apex to large round pores at base, concave surface with large round pores in proximal portions of leaf. Sexual condition monoicous or dioicous. Spores 19-27 µm, finely papillose on proximal surface, pusticulate on distal surface; proximal laesura less than 0.4 spore radius.

Comprehensive Description

Sphagnum quinquefarium (Lindb.) Warnst
Hedwigia 25 : 222. 1886.
Sphagnum aculifolium quinquefarium Lindb.; Braithw. Sphag. 71. 1880. Sphagnum Barllellianum Wamst. in Engler, Pflanzenreich Sphag. 105. 1911.
Plants fairly robust, not infrequently tall, light-green or yellowish or more or less tinged ■with rosy-red. Wood-cylinder greenish-yeUow; cortical cells of the stem in 2-4 layers, large, thin-walled, without fibrils, the outer cells quadrilateral to irregularly pentagonal or hexagonal, sometimes as wide as long, rarely with occasional pores: stem-leaves small, triangular to lingulate-triangular, commonly as wide as long, concave, involute at the toothed apex, the border strong, at the base occupying nearly the whole breadth of the leaf, the walls of its cells pitted; hyaline cells rhomboidal, 3-4 times as long as wide in the apical part, narrower below and at the sides, mostly without fibrils, in the apical part of the leaf often divided, the membrane on the inner surface resorbed in large membrane-gaps, on the outer surface with small gaps in a few cells of the immediate apex, otherwise entire, often with longitudinal membranepleats: branches in fascicles of 5, generally at least 3 spreading, their cortical cells in a single layer, the retort-cells well developed with conspicuous necks, often a second retort-cell above the first: branch-leaves imbricate or generally loosely spreading in 5 ranks, small, lanceolate, slightly involute near the toothed apex, the border entire, of 2-3 rows of narrow cells; hyaline cells fibrillose, narrowly rhomboidal, 8-12 times as long as wide near the base, shorter above to 4-5 times, on the inner surface with small pores in the ends of the cells, in the lower sideregions with large ringless pores, up to 4-5 per cell, on the outer surface with rather small ringed elliptic pores near the commissures, increasing gradually in size toward the base, 3-8 per cell: chlorophyl-cells triangular in section with the base exposed on the inner surface; hyaline cells very slightly if at all convex on the inner surface except in the basal part of the leaf, decidedly convex on the outer surface, one third to one half of the diameter of the cell.
Commonly monoicous. Antheridia in catkins on spreading branches; antheridial leaves reddish, broader in proportion to length than the normal branch-leaves, abruptly involute at the apex, fibrils lacking or rudimentary in the hyaline cells of the basal one fourth to one third. Fruiting branches erect, short; perichaetial leaves lingulate-ovate, abruptly involute at the apex, with both kinds of cells in the upper middle portion, the hyaline cells rhomboidal, often once or several times divided, without fibrils or pores: capsule brown: spores yellow, about 20 M in diameter, slightly granular-roughened.
Type locality: Europe.
Distribution: Newfoundland to Georgia; also in Europe and Asia.
