• 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.
