Abstract

Two specimens of Didymodon giganteus (Funck) Jur., originally identified as D. asperifolius, were found in the collections from Chukotka (Asian Arctic) in LE. The records represent new localities of D. giganteus in Russia. The species was previously known only from a single record in the lower course of the Lena River (Arctic Yakutia). We provide the morphological description, illustration, and habitat data for the new Russian records of D. giganteus and summarize the world distribution.
