(1969)  
 
Inland there is a fine flora about Lewes with some unusual features. Lewes race-course, Mount Caburn and Mount Harry are among the best places. On the lower slopes of Mount Caburn the Scarce Sweetbriar, Rosa agrestis, is more abundant than in any other place in Britain. For about a mile it is the most common rose, and it is difficult to suggest any reason why it should thrive here and yet be so scarce else where".

[Lewes is in the south-east of England roughly 90km south from London and 10km from the coast.]
