Sphagnum warnstorfii is a species of moss belonging to the family Sphagnaceae, named in honour of Carl Warnstorf.[1] It is widely distributed in the north hemisphere.[2]

In a study of the effect of the herbicide Asulam on moss growth, Sphagnum warnstorfii was shown to have intermediate sensitivity to Asulam exposure.[3]
