MA west to PA and KY, south to Panhandle FL, n. AL, and sc. TN. This species has a scattered distribution throughout its range, and is apparently rare.

Taxonomy Comments: Bruederle, Fairbrothers, & Hanks (1989) and Bruederle (1999) provide additional information about this species. Allozyme studies suggest that C. mitchelliana is less closely related to C. gynandra, C. crinita var. crinita, and C. crinita var. brevicrinis than they are to one another.
