|habitat=Forming wet carpets but habitat unclear due to recent taxonomic separation from subsp. norvegicum, in North America, subsp. majus seems to occur in ombrotrophic to poor fen habitats, often on floating mats, mixed with S. cuspidatum in eastern North America
|elevation=low to moderate elevations
|distribution=B.C.;Nfld. and Labr. (Nfld.);N.S.;Ont.;Que.;Alaska;Conn.;Maine;Mass.;Mich.;Minn.;N.H.;N.J.;Pa.;Vt.;Wis.;Eurasia.
|discussion=<p>Sporophytes of <i></i>subsp.<i> majus</i> are rare. In the field it is typically darker brown than <i></i>subsp.<i> norvegicum</i>, while its capitulum is denser and less stellate appearing than in the latter. See also discussion under 23. <i>Sphagnum annulatum</i>.</p>
