Family Eucommiaceae
The Eucommiaceae (hard rubber tree family) contains a single living species.Eucommiaceae
Eucommia
Although a number of extinct Eucommia species were native to North America, the only living species, Eucommia ulmoides, is native to central China but has been planted worldwide. It is known for being a very cold-tolerant rubber-producing tree. It has been reported as naturalized in Indiana and Ohio, but not in New York State.BONAP county-level map for Eucommia ulmoides

Bluets (Houstonia caerulea) Hedyotis caerulea.jpg Houstonia caeruleabluets The genus Houstonia contains about 20 species, generally known as Bluets. All are North American natives. Three are considered to be native to New York State. The nativity of the two varieties of Houstonia purpurea is uncertain in New York, even though Houstonia purpurea var. calycosa is listed as "Endangered" and possibly extirpated (SH).New York Natural Heritage Program. 2024.

Galium sect. Aparine
20160518Galium aparine2.jpg Galium aparine Galium aparine (cleavers or stickywilly) was previously included in sect. Kolgyda but has been segregated along with similar Galium spurium into sect. Aparine, which appears to be a sister to the clade formed by sects. Kolgyda and Hylaea.
Note that BONAP lists most Galium species, including Galium aparine as noxious weeds in New York, Pennsylvania and New England. This is likely based on prohibited-seed lists that don't distinguish between Galium species.
The native status of Galium aparine is inconsistent. It is generally treated as native but noxious weed in North America.Gucker, Corey L. (2005). Galium aparine. in Fire Effects Information System.

Asclepias
The milkweed genus Asclepias is here separated into two clades according to Fishbein, et. al. (2011).Mark Fishbein, et. al. (2011) "Phylogenetic Relationships of Asclepias (Apocynaceae) Inferred from Non-Coding Chloroplast DNA Sequences." Systematic Botany 36(4):1008-1023. 2011. Each of these clades contains milkweeds that support monarch butterfly developmemt. In New York, these are:
common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca)
swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata)
butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa)
whorled milkweed (Asclepias verticillata)
poke milkweed (Asclepias exaltata)
Showy milkweed (Asclepias speciosa) also supports monarchs west of the Mississippi, where it is native, but the benefit of planting it in New York for this purpose could be questioned.

Subtribe Tylophorinae
Vincetoxicum
Vincetoxicum includes the two very highly invasive alien vines black swallow-wort (Vincetoxicum nigrum) and pale swallow-wort (Vincetoxicum rossicum), also known as dog-strangling vines, which are both well-established in parts of New York State. Aside from their general invasiveness and the subsequent loss of habitat for native plants, these milkweed relatives have been implicated in luring monarch butterflies away from native milkweed as a place to lay eggs. Because only milkweed can supprort monarch larvae, those that hatch from eggs laid on the swallow-wort cannot survive.
As with some other invasive plants, when swallow-wort is first introduced in an area, its rate of spread is fairly slow, so the rate of future spread and the difficulty of controlling it is often underestimated. A phenomenon called the Allee effect is responsible for increasing the growth rate of individual swallow-wort plants as their population increases and the population of competing plants declines, up to a limit of course.Naomi Cappuccino (2004). "Allee effect in an invisive alien plant, pale swallow-wort Vincetoxicum rossicum (Asclepiadaceae)." OIKOS 106: 3-8, 2004. The root cause of this effect is not certain, but a likely contributor is allelopathy on the part of the invasive swallow-worts, which both produce the phytotoxin -(-) antofine.
