Download - Interesting plant records 2016
• Thanks to all recorders for the excellent response again
this year. We have had 15,000 records in VC13 and
nearly 9,000 in VC14.
• Many interesting new plants have been found in 2016,
including refinds of old records, special plants at new
sites, and plants new to Sussex. A small selection
follows but there will be a full list in newsletter.
• A few records are from 2015 where delays in
identification or late submission meant they couldn’t be
shown last year.
• In the following presentation original photographs have
been used wherever possible.
