There are several species of sphagnums. The slender, 

 ■delicate S. acutifolium has narrower leaves than the 

 S. cymbefolium. The capsules are green, not red, and 

 the plant is not so robust, but it is still curious and fair 

 to look upon. 



Many other kinds of coarse mosses also mingle with 

 the sphagnums and form pleasing contrasts to the' 

 whiter mosses and bog-loving plants.
