  Abstract:   The moss genus Sphagnum L. (peat mosses) is an ancient plant group and counts approximately 300 species with a widespread distribution across the northern hemisphere. Delimitation of species in the genus Sphagnum has been notoriously difficult and gave rise to many controversies during the last decade. High degree of morphological similarity of species and extreme phenotypic plasticity of distinctive characters has been invoked to explain controversial taxonomic assessments based on morphology.
