New York State has 28 herbaria and some of these, like NYBG and BBG, are world class.
Long Island has only 2 of these: Planting Fields and Southampton College (the fate of which is unknown.)
Eight of the herbaria belong to colleges or universities within the SUNY system: Binghamton, Geneseo, Fredonia, etc. Stony Brook's herbarium should belong to this consortium.
