Abstract
The vascular flora of Orient Beach State Park, New York, is based exclusively on collections made by the authors from April 1988 to October 1990. Altogether, 277 vascular plant species in 183 genera and 67 families are reported here. The largest families are Poaceae (49 species) and Asteraceae (48 species), and the largest genera are Aster, Solidago, Polygonum, and Panicum. The park's current flora is compared with a 1934 flora published by Latham. Natural plant communities of the park are described and discussed. Eighteen plant species have been designated as rare in New York State (Clemants 1989; Mitchell 1986).Keywords
