Abstract
THE effect of the mildness of the winter is shown in the number of wild plants now in flower, some of them evidently survivors from the autumn, others early spring flowers, and yet others entirely out of season. During a walk on January 3 and 4 from Brighton through Ditchling and Haywards Heath to Balcombe, we observed no fewer than thirty wild flowers in blossom, many of them being abundant.
