|discussion=<p>In North America <i>Sciuro-hypnum glaciale</i> is confirmed in Greenland and high mountains in Wyoming, but probably occurs also in other regions of the North American Arctic. The species can be recognized by its broadly ovate-triangular and concave leaves forming closely imbricate foliage. In high mountains of the West, the species can be confused with <i>S. oedipodium</i>, but the latter species has less concave leaves with longer acumina and conspicuous decurrencies. Small-leaved plants of <i>S. latifolium</i> are superficially very similar to <i>S. glaciale</i>, but are distinct in their sharply delimited alar group of pellucid cells and entire leaf margins. The leaves are broadest at 1/7–1/3 the leaf length, with alar regions that reach from the margins halfway to the costa.</p>
