Peat moss is called swamp or sphagnum moss. The taxonomy of its species remains a controversial issue, as botanists have completely different points of view. Varying from pale green to deep red, these plants can reach a height of 30 cm. They form dense stands around ponds, in marshes, on wet, acidic rocks, and on lakes from tropical to subpolar regions.
