THE NATIVE FLORA OF THE VICINITY OF COLD 

 SPRING HARBOR, N. Y. 



While this contribution is intended to serve primarily as 

 a check list for the use of students and botanical research 

 workers at the Biological Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, 

 New York, it will also serve to acquaint others who may 

 be interested with the rich flora of the vicinity- of the Labora- 

 tory, and indicate opportunities for its further study. 



Since assuming charge of the course in Field and Sys- 

 tematic Botany at the Laboratory, the writer and assistants 

 have been engaged in making a card catalogue of the native 

 and cultivated plants in the vicinity of the Laboratory as 

 these were collected by members of the staff and students. 

 He has also examined and assembled records left by former 

 workers at the Laboratory and from the foregoing and all 

 other available records in the literature dealing with the Flora 

 of Long Island — including all those species apt to be encoun- 

 tered by members of the Laboratory in the field — has compiled 

 the following list. All who collect in the vicinity of Cold 

 Spring Harbor in the future are requested to send their rec- 

 ords to the Director of the Laboratory in order that the 

 knowledge of the local flora be as complete as possible. The 

 workers whose data besides that of the writer is represented 

 in this list are : ■
