Description

The Consortium possesses a herbarium collection of 623 mounted and labeled specimens, almost exclusively collected from the Forest by Kerry Barringer and Steven Clemants between 1990 and 1998, and used to complete a comprehensive list of all the vascular flora existing within the Forest (Barringer, K. and S. E. Clemants. 2003. The vascular flora of Black Rock Forest, Cornwall, New York. Journal of the Torrey Botanical Society 130(4): 292-308). The collection also includes some specimens collected from the nearby West Point Military Reservation by Steven Clemants, and a few specimens from other locations in the county, submitted by amateur collectors.
