Order Proteales[edit]

The order Proteales...

Nelumbo lutea, Sodus Bay, 1916

Family Nelumbonaceae[edit]

The Nelumbonaceae (lotus family) has two species of aquatic plants found in New York. Nelumbo nucifera is from tropical Asia, and Nelumbo lutea is a North American native that was probably introduced to New York from further south prior to widespread European settlement.

↑ Early botanists considered Nelumbo lutea to be native to the area around Sodus Bay, but it may have been cultivated there by Native Americans using plants brought from the South. It is now extirpated from that area, but naturalized pants persist elsewhere in the state. ↑ Nelumbo nucifera is likely to become invasive if introduced on Long Island.[1]

Family Platanaceae[edit]

The Platanaceae (sycamore family) is represented in New York by the native American Sycamore and the London plane tree, which is probably a hybrid of the American Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) and the Oriental plane (Platanus orientalis) from Eurasia.^[1] Although widely planted as a street tree, the London plane tree is not known to naturalize extensively in New York.

Family Altingiaceae[edit]

The Altingiaceae (sweetgum family) contains only about fifteen species and its segregation from Hamamelidaceae has only recently been widely accepted. One of its three genera (Semiliquidambar) may comprise intergeneric hybrids of the other two (Altingia and Liquidambar), so revisions within this family may be forthcoming.

Genus Liquidambar[edit]

Liquidambar styraciflua is the only North American species of Liquidambar, or sweetgum. It is most common in the forests of the southeastern United States, but its native range appears to extend as far north as southeastern New York State. It is cultivated elsewhere in the state and seems to be able to naturalize in some upstate locations.

Subfamily Sempervivoideae[edit]

Tribe Umbiliceae[edit]

Genus Rhodiola[edit]

In New York, Rhodiola consists of two taxa of endangered plants.

Rhodiola integrifolia ssp. leedyi is an isolated subspecies of a common western cliff-stonecrop species (transferred from Sedum integrifolium in 1999). It has been found mainly on northwest-to-northeast-facing cliffs in southeastern Minnesota and near the southern part of Seneca Lake. It was discovered at Watkins Glen State Park in Schuyler County in 1918. The largest known population (at least 6000 plants) was discovered that same year, along about 2 miles of Glenora Cliff, on the western shore of Seneca Lake, in Yates County. It wasn't until 1994 that a third New York population was found near Glenora Falls, also in Yates County. [2], [3]

[1] Early botanists considered Nelumbo lutea to be native to the area around Sodus Bay, but it may have been cultivated there by Native Americans using plants brought from the South. It is now extirpated from that area, but naturalized pants persist elsewhere in the state.

[6] Rhodiola integrifolia var. leedyi is one of eleven federally-listed endangered or threatened plants found in New York. It is found only in Minnesota and New York. The New York populations consist of a large population on the shores of southern Seneca Lake and a single plant at Watkins Glen, near the south end of that lake.
