• Premise of the study: Microsatellite markers were developed for Ptychomitrium gardneri to study population genetics of this eastern Asian‐North American disjunct moss. • Methods and Results: A total of 13 microsatellite markers were developed in Chinese populations of P. gardneri , using the Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequences COntaining Repeats protocol. Eight of the markers showed polymorphism when assessed in a sample of four populations of 29 individuals from China. These markers amplified three to four alleles per locus. Five primers also amplified in P. linearifolium and P. wilsonii . • Conclusions: These markers may be useful for further investigation of population genetics of P. gardneri .
