The first checklist of plants of the New York City area was published by John Torrey in 1819. In the years since, NYC has undergone radical changes, and although some of these plants and habitats are now extirpated, the city continues to harbor important biodiversity. The unique geology and ecology of the city, paired with its status as a hub of human activity, creates conditions for both native and introduced plants to thrive. The NYC EcoFlora is a community science project based at the New York Botanical Garden which aims to increase awareness of plant life and to document the spontaneous flora of NYC using the iNaturalist app. The data presented here synthesizes iNaturalist observations made by our community scientists with herbarium specimens, NYC Parks data on native plants, previously published checklists of greenspaces within NYC, and personal communications, to produce a snapshot of the current state of the city’s plants. In this talk, we will discuss the checklist, which includes about 1,700 taxa from 155 families of vascular plants; the changes in flora over time; and how this data can be utilized by land managers, students, ecologists, and naturalists
