Countless individuals and institutions have provided data, assistance, and funding for the Atlas. We sincerely thank all of these individuals and institutions for their contributions. Without them the Atlas would not exist in its current form. We ask for the apologies of any individual or institution that we have inadvertently excluded from our acknowledgments. Finally, while we thank the following individuals and institutions, the final decisions regarding the data in the atlas are the responsibility of the authors. Funding for the New York Flora Atlas was made intitally made possible through a New York State Biodiversity Research Institute grant and is support by donations and New York Flora Association memberships.

We graciously thank the following individuals and organizations for contributing to the photo collection of the Atlas. We are still looking to add more photographs, especially for species, plant parts, or developmental phases not represented.
