ABSTRACT. Orthotrichum sprucei is reported new to Asia based on several populations sampled on Poplar in Alma-Ata Oblast, Kazakhstan. The recent report of an eastward disjunction of this species historically known only from oceanic parts of Western Europe is here confirmed and widened. Morphological characters of these populations are described and illustrated.
