CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FLORA OF THE ADIRONDACKS, NEW-YORK

Surveys of wetlands, cliffs and alpine areas in the Adirondacks region of northeastern New York resulted in 12 new stations for rare native species. Saxifraga oppositifolia is an addition to the New York flora. Additional stations are recorded for two recently reported species in New York: Empetrum eamesii ssp. atropurpureum and Trisetum melicoides. Erigeron hyssopifolius and Carex capillaris have been relocated after a lapse in observations of nearly a century. Carex capillaris, Erigeron hyssopifolius, Poa fernaldiana and Saxifraga oppositifolia are recommended for state endangered species status. Calamagrostis pickeringii populations are widespread and stable in the region.
