ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRIBUTION RANGES OF THE SPHAGNUM RECURVUM COMPLEX SPECIES IN THE EAST EUROPEAN PLAIN AND EASTERN FENNOSCANDIA
Sphagnum angustifolium, S. fallax, S. flexuosum belong to the Sphagnum recurvum complex. Previously, S. balticum had been included in this group, too. The species distribution ranges across the East European Plain and Eastern Fennoscandia were analyzed. The main results of the analysis are as follow...

Sphagnum angustifolium, S. fallax, S. flexuosum belong to the Sphagnum recurvum complex. Previously, S. balticum had been included in this group, too.
