Abstract
Sphagnum pylaesii Brid; is a species with disjunct relict populations in no rthwest Spain. Here, new data on its distribution in Spain are presented an d a new plant community (ass. Sphagno pylaesii-Caretum verticillati) is des cribed. In addition to Sphagnum pylaesii, this community contains a number of threatened and endemic species to the Iberian Peninsula. Both Sphagnum, pylaesii and the Sphagnum pylaesii-community are listed in the annexes of t he Habitats Directive (92/43/CEE).
