Recently an f （T） gravity based on the modification of teleparallel gravity was proposed to ex-plain the accelerated expansion of the universe. We use observational data from type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations, and cosmic microwave background to constrain this f（T） theory and reconstruct the effective equation of state and the deceleration parameter. We obtain the best-fit values of parameters and find an interesting result that the constrained f（T） theory allows for the accelerated Hubble expansion to be a transient effect.

We apply two geometrical diagnostics, the statefinder {s, r} and Om（x）, to discriminate the Spatial Ricci scalar dark energy model from the ACDM model. We plot the evolution trajectories of those models in the statefinder plane and Om（x） plane. We show that the Spatial Ricci scalar dark energy model can be distinguished from the ACDM model at 68.3% confidence level for z ≤ 1.
