- Observation A new species, Hedwigia kuzenevae sp. nova, is described from Asian Russia based on molecular and morphological study.
- Observation Hedwigia kuzenevae has a distribution area including Transbaikalia and Tukuringra Range in Amurskyaya Province.
- Observation Hedwigia kuzenevae is known from few localities in Yakutia and Krasnoyarsk Territory.
- Observation Hedwigia kuzenevae often grows in areas with calcareous bedrocks.

- Observation Hedwigia mollis is closely related to H. emodica according to DNA sequence data.
- Observation Hedwigia mollis is likely to deserve species status.
- Observation Hedwigia emodica var. echinata var. nova is described from Asian Russia as a new variety.
- Observation The new Hedwigia taxa are not separated from each other by the nuclear ITS1-2 DNA marker, unlike other Hedwigia taxa.
- Observation Hedwigia emodica var. emodica has the widest distribution area, throughout Russia.
- Observation Hedwigia emodica var. echinata is restricted in distribution to the south of the Russian Far East and Transbaikalia.
