Most sources do not describe michauxii as present in NYS. However, an old book about the flora of Staten Island mentioned its presence in undisturbed wetlands on the island, which prompted me to keep an eye out for any remaining specimens- this is the only mature tree found so far, though a younger specimen is present in another park further south on Staten Island.
