    What plant is this? Found in central long island?

    Answer

    Dear vbrink, this looks like a species of Lotus (bird's-foot trefoil), in the Fabaceae. Without being on hand to take measurements, it would be difficult for me to tell you which species it is. It looks like Lotus tenuis to me, given the narrow leaflets. Best wishes.
