Collection data will be transmitted to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, will be available via the Tennessee Herbarium web site and via the IDigBio collections portal. For collections that are sequenced, DNAs are stored at -80C at the University of Tennessee and sequences are deposited in GenBank with the annotation Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
