125 years of floristic research and collecting at The New York Botanical Garden

Abstract

As part of The New York Botanical Garden’s 125th anniversary, a summary of floristic research by NYBG staff is presented. The first 50 years of the Garden were extremely productive and resulted in floras covering most of the United States and Canada. The focus of research at the Garden shifted to the Neotropics and diversified, especially in northern South America and Brazil, and continues to thrive.
