Warnst., Sphagnol. univ.: 151(1911). S. mildbraediiWamst. in Wiss. Ergebn. dt. ZentAfr. Exped. 2: 134(1910). Plants very variable in stature, short and compact to elongate and very robust, pale yellowish or greenish varying to pale brown. Capitula sometimes concealed among upwardly directed sub-comal branches. Fascicles closely packed or spaced at short intervals on stems, internodes concealed by pendent branches, always very markedly dimorphic: spreading branches usually 2, horizontal or ascending, ending abruptly or more or less suddenly contracted distally and tapering, (15-0-)20-0-30-0(-40-0) mm long; pendent branches 2-4, strongly deflexed, pale, thin and tapering, very variable in length from vestigial up to more than 40 mm. Stems pale, yellowish to yellow-brown, 0-7-1-0 mm diameter; cortex well developed, composed of (2-)3-4 layers of hyaline cells, the outermost cells variable in diameter but most having a single large pore in the external wall; internal cylinder well developed but cells less incrassate than in other sphagna of.
