--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>low, erect or procumbent, loosely tufted; green or more frequently yellowish, orangish brown-red, reddish brown or dark red; capitulum not developed. <b>Stems</b> brown to black; superficial cortex of 1 (–2) layers of enlarged, thin-walled cells. <b>Stem</b> leaves broadly ovate, 3.5–4 mm, apex rounded and indistinctly toothed; hyaline cells on convex surface with 10–20 small (2.5–7.5 µm) round pores approximately 1/6 the diameter of the hyaline cells along the commissures, cells on concave surface uniporose in distal end or aporose, sometimes one or a few pores are scattered over the surface of the cells. <b>Branches</b> few, single and short or more commonly none. <b>Branch</b> fascicles, if any, usually only 1 single branch. <b>Branch</b> leaves if any, are usually slightly smaller, 2–3 mm, but otherwise identical to the stem leaves. <b>Sexual</b> condition dioicous. <b>Capsule</b> immersed in perichaetial leaves, pseudopodium extremely short, without pseudostomata. <b>Spores</b> 25–40 µm; coarsely papillose on both surfaces; proximal laesura more than 0.5 the length of the spore</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Sporophytes are quite rare in <i>Sphagnum cyclophyllum</i>, which grows associated with <i>S. pylaesii</i>, <i>S. perichaetiale</i>, <i>S. portoricense</i>, and <i>S. lescurii</i>. <i>Sphagnum pylaesii</i> is the only other North American <i>Sphagnum</i> that regularly grows unbranched. The latter species not only lacks the typical sect. Subsecunda branch leaf porosity of <i>S. cyclophyllum</i> but is also much more slender. <i>Sphagnum pylaesii</i> is also much more likely to occur submersed, where it occurs in branched forms, something <i>S. cyclophyllum</i> rarely does. See also discussion under 57. <i>S. microcarpum</i> and 61. <i>S. platyphyllum</i>.</p>
