The Smithsonian also has a collection of plants. One is Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides).

The plant is perhaps the most successful. The range extends un interrupted from coastal Virginia to southern Argentina. The Smithsonian collection specimen representing the northern most extreme was collected by me at First Landing State Park at the mouth of the Chesapeke Bay. .
