In memory of Robert Muma
November 27, 1907 - February 22, 1993

 
After he retired, Robert Muma became very interested in mosses. His approach was scientific as well as artistic, and both were rooted in his lifelong love for the natural world. He has since passed away, and much of his material about mosses is available here on this website. Printed copies are also for sale.
