Abstract: Genome size was determined in thirty Austrian species of Sphagnum, using Feulgen absorbance photometry conducted on a video-based image analysis system (CIRES), and for comparison on a scanning cytophotometer (Leitz MPV II) with strongly correlated results. Pisum sativum (1C = 4.42pg DNA) was used for internal standardization. Between species, two levels of ploidy, haploid and diploid, could be unambiguously identified (although this identification remains, strictly speaking, hypothetical, as long as exact parallel chromosome counts are not available). Twenty-six haploid species yielded values from 0.392 pg to 0.506 pg DNA (1C), and four diploid species (including two varieties of S. palustre) from 0.814 pg to 0.952 pg. The average ratio between levels was 1:2.049. Variation between species within sections was lower than between sections. In some cases significant differences between accessions of one species were found. The genome size of Sphagnum palustre presented here strongly deviates from one estimate of this species in the literature.
