Sphagnum squarrosum, commonly known as the crome sphagnum,[1] spiky bog-moss[2] or spreading-leaved bog moss[3] is a species of moss which grows in nutrient-rich, damp soil. Typical habitats include woodland, the banks of streams and ditches; it can even be found at high altitude in damp cirques. The species often grows near sedges (Carex), rushes (Juncus) or purple moor grass (Molinia caerulea).[2]
Sphagnum squarrosum plants are green, and have the appearance of spikiness.[2]
