Abstract
During the summer of 1958 I collected yellow-green cushions of an unknown bryaceous moss from sheltered crevices of Charlie's Bunion in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee. The collection attracted the attention of Dr. L. E. Anderson, who took it back to Duke University and found it to be Mielichhoferia mielichhoferiana (Funck) Limpr. I discovered later that W. C. Steere had collected the same species from Mt. LeConte during the 1947 American Bryological Society foray (rock crevices, Myrtle Point, Mt. LeConte, Sevier Co., Tenn., W. C. Steere, Sept. 5, 1947). In the autumn of 1958, Dr. A. J. Sharp collected this rare moss from The Jumpoff, also in the general region of Mt. LeConte, Great Smoky Mountains National Park (moist shaded phyllite, Jumpoff, Sevier Co., Tenn., A. J. Sharp, R. A. Pursell & Dan Norris 5837). Several new localities of Mielichhoferia mielichhoferiana were discovered during the summer of 1959, and I was able to relocate it in all the previously known localities. The new collections, all from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Sevier County, Tennessee, are cited below:
