Abstract
Tortella alpicola Dix. is revealed in several localities in different regions of Russia (Urals, Altai, Taimyr Peninsula, South-Eastern Yakutia, and Chukotka), and also in Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia. The description and illustrations are provided, the known records in Northern Eurasia are mapped. Ðacþia Tortella alpicola Dix. âuyâeaia â ðyaa iano â ðaciuo ÷anoyo Ðinnee (Oðae, Aeoae, Oaeiuð, þai-âinoie seooee, ×oeioea), a oaeaea Ocaaeenoaia, Eeðaecnoaia e Iiiaieee. Iðeâiayony iienaiea e eeeþnoðaoee âeaa, a oaeaea eaðoa aai ðaniðinoðaiaiey â Naâaðiie Aâðacee. In the course of study of Didymodon species with fragile leaf tips, the first author found in Altaian collections a puzzling specimen of Totrella with the structure of the upper leaf much like that of Didymodon gaochenii B. C. Tan et Jia Yu. We could not identify it with standard keys for Siberia, Mongolia and China, but then found that it perfectly fits the description of Tortella alpicola Dix. given by Eckel (1998). Subsequent expanded search of this species in LE, MHA and MW (mostly among superficially the similar Tortella fragilis) succeeded in finding more localities, quite distant from each other. The junior author (VF) found this species in 2004
