Selaginella sibirica (Milde) Hieron. is newly record for the flora of Mongolia in the Khuvsgul phytogeographical region. Based on the two herbarium specimens and observation from the iNaturalist open source, we extend the range of this species to Mongolia, its previously known range in south of Siberia and Far East of Russia, on the norths of China (Heilongjiang, Nei Mongol), Japan, Korea and North America. Selaginella sibirica can easily be distinguished from the other Mongolian Selaginella species by its leaves linear-lanceolate and monomorphic, ciliolate at the margin and with long white apical seta. We provide morphological description, illustrations, notes on its taxonomy, and a distribution map.
