Abstract: The paper aims to understand the distribution of Desmidiaceae species of the Ili river basin wetland in Xinjiang. We collected water samples in July 2017. By adopting a classical taxonomy method, five species and two varieties of Desmidiacea which belong to 5 genera are found, they are Closterium littorale, Pleurotaenium maximum, Micrasterias thomasiana var. notata, Cosmarium botrytis var. tumidum, Cosmarium margaritiferum, Cosmarium scutellum and Xanthidium octocorne. A detailed description of the characteristics of its taxonomy and habitat is given. The newly recorded plants enrich the resources of algae in Xinjiang.
