Tribe Thermopsideae

Baptisia

The North American "indigo" (Baptisia) species are often called "false indigo" or "wild indigo" to differentiate them from the Asian indigo plant Indigofera tinctoria, which was cultivated to make blue dye, as was blue false indigo (Baptisia australis).^[1]

Yellow wild indigo (Baptisia tinctoria) is considered to be the only New York native of the genus and has been cultivated to make a yellow dye and to repel horseflies.^[2]^[3]

Thermopsis

The herbaceous perennials of genus Thermopsis are generally known as goldenbanners or false-lupines. There are about ten North American Thermopsis species.^[1] Of these, onlyThermopsis villosa is known to grow outside of cultivation in New York State. It is native to the southeast but planted as far north as Maine on the east coast and occasionally escapes from cultivation in the northeast.

Tribe Crotalarieae

Crotalaria

Common rattlebox (Crotalaria sagittalis) is listed as Endangered in New York, where it is at the northern edge of its natural range. It is poisonous and listed as a noxious weed in parts of the South.

Tribe Genisteae

Many of the Genisteae are known generally as brooms.

Lupinus

Lupinus (loo-PIE-nus) is represented by two species of lupine found outside of cultivation in New York, both of which are North American natives.

Sundial lupine (Lupinus perennis) is an eastern native, though it has become rare in the Northeast, including New York, possibly due in part to the reduced frequency of fire.

Bigleaf lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus) is a western native, but its var. polyphyllus has been widely planted as an ornamental and has escaped cultivation in the Northeast, where it is considered invasive.^[1] However, it is still rare in most of New York State.

One of the easiest ways to distinguish these two lupine species is by the number of leaflets on their compound leaves. The native L. perennis has 5-7 leaflets on most of its leaves, while the western L. polyphyllus has 11-17 leaflets on most of its leaves.

Tribe Amorpheae

The Amorpheae is a tribe of New World faboid legumes, few of which are found in the Northeast.

Amorpha

The nativity of false indigo-bush (Amorpha fruticosa) in New York is questionalble. Although it clearly grew south of New York before European settlement, it is not clear how far north its native range extends. It is considered non-native in New England, and even invasive in Connecticut. So, it's likely that many of the New York populations are garden escapes.

Clitoria

Butterfly-pea is native to the southeastern United States. It seems to be unclear whether it could be considered native as far north as New York.

↑ Richard S. Mitchell (1998) "Amendments to the State Checklist I." NYFA Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 3 indicates that Desmodium glabellum was removed from the New York State Rare Plant List and the Flora Atlas when it was discovered by Troy Weldy (1998) that all New York voucher specimens were actually Desmodium perplexum, a common New York Native. However, Desmodium glabellum is still listed in adjacent states Connecticut, Pennsyvania, and New Jersey. So it seems conceivable that it may be found naturalized somewhere in New York. As of Dec-2016, the New York Flora Atlas lists D. glabellum as having been missapplied to D.×humifusum (D. paniculatum × D. rotundifolium). ↑ New York Metropolitan Flora Project (BBG): D. viridiflorumhas "...has been historically reported from unspecified localities in ...

Caragana

Caragana arborescens (Siberian peashrub) is listed as highly invasive in New York State.^[1] Although it is cultivated for ornamental purposes, it has not yet known to naturalize in New York. However, it is known to be invasive in Canada and the upper midwest, so it is being tracked in New York State.^[2]

Tribe Trifolieae

The Trifolieae contains primarily the clovers, sweetclovers, and alfalfa in New York. None of these plants are considered to be native to the state, and very few are native to North America.

Medicago

Medicago (medick) includes the common forage crop alfalfa (Medicago sativa) along with clover-like weeds such as black medick (Medicago lupulina).

White and yellow sweetclover are sometimes lumped under the Melilotus officinalis name, but the New York Flora Atlas and other sources treat them as separate species.

Trifolium

Trifolium contains the clovers. Of the clovers found in New York, the closest species to being native is Trifolium reflexum (buffalo clover), which is considered to be native farther south and west in the U.S. and was reported in Macedon, Wayne county, New York in 1883.^[1]

Senna

Senna is a large and primarily-tropical genus with several hundred species worldwide. But a couple of its small number of North American species occur in New York, and one of these, northern wild senna, is considered to be native to the state. Prior to the publication of Cassia hebecarpa by Fernald in 1937, norhern wild senna was listed in New York as Cassia marilandica, which now (as Senna marilandica) is considered to have never naturalized in New York.^[1]

Tribe Caesalpinieae

Tribe Caesalpinieae includes the Kentucky coffeetree and honey locusts.

Gymnocladus

The endangered Kentucky coffeetree, Gymnocladus dioicus, is a possible pre-European introduction to New York. It is the only species of its genus native to North America. The other two Gymnocladus species are native to Asia.

Gleditsia

Refer to tribe Robinieae above, which also contains locust trees.

A thornless cultivar of Gleditsia tricanthos (forma inermis) is commonly planted.

Family Polygalaceae

Of the Polygalaceae (milkwort family), only the genus Polygala, with about a dozen taxa, and Polygaloides, with a single species, are found outside of cultivation in New York. All of these taxa are native to the region, but many are rare or presumed extirpated.^{[F 1]}

Tribe Polygaleae

Polygaloides

In 2011, John Richard Abbott segregated fringed milkwort (Polygala paucifolia) from the rest of Polygala, placing it in the currently-unused genus Polygaloides.^[1]^[2]

Polygala

The ten New York native Polygala species are generally known as milkwort, or occasionally as snakeroot. The genus name was derived from the Ancient Greek πολλά (pollá), meaning much, and γᾰ́λᾰ (gála), meaning milk, based on the belief that ingesting the plants causes cows to produce more milk. Even if the belief is valid, it may only apply to Old World species.
