Taxonomic Comments
Anderson (1990) and FNA (vol. 27, 2007) did not mention Sphagnum miyabeanum. This record is for the concept of S. miyabeanum following Shaw et al. (2014). According to Shaw et al. (2014), FNA’s (vol. 27, 2007) concept of S. subsecundum included S. miyabeanum (though S. miyabeanum was not in the FNA synonymy). Brinda and Atwood (2026) reference Shaw et al. (2014) for their acceptance of S. miyabeanum. Buck and Goffinet (2024) also accept S. miyabeanum but possibly in a broader sense, since they include S. andrusii (=S. subsecundum var. andrusii) and S. subobesum (=S. subsecundum var. junsaiense) in it. Meanwhile, Brinda and Atwood (2026) treat S. miyabeanum, S. andrusii, S. subobesum, and S. subsecundum as distinct species.
