Project 2. Flora of Long Island, New York 
Scope: 
A complete flora, with keys to the species, their frequency, dis- 
tribution, times of flowering, and evolutionary history of the 
flora. 
Status: 
Over twenty thousand specimens and practically all printed 
records of the flora have been tabulated on species maps. On

flora may, within the next two or three years, be published as 
a Memoir of the Garden. This involves collection of several 
thousand additional specimens and considerable walking over 
little known parts of the island.
