About. Copyright Notice and Acknowledgements

The flora of Massachusetts embraces about three thousand species of vascular plants including non-natives. Only about half of those have been recorded for eastern Massachusetts (estimate based on Sorrie and Somers 1999). As of today, the gallery contains 14,878 photos of 1,253 species. We have published photos of 487 species from the Blue Hills Reservation, 451 species from Myles Standish State Forest, 164 species from Stony Brook Reservation, 183 species from Middlesex Fells Reservation, 178 species from Cutler Park.

To get a list of photographs for each reservation, go to Search and choose that reservation from the list of locations. The links above will take you to our running checklists that include all records — with or without published photos. Other photographs are mostly from southeastern Massachusetts with only some few from the north and west.
