RECORDS OF AUTUMNAL OR SECOND 
FLOWERINGS OF PLANTS 
By FRANCIS DARWIN and A. SHRUBBS (Univ. Herbarium) 
T he following observations on the autumnal or second flowering 
of plants were made in Cambridgeshire (C), Gloucestershire (G), 
and a few in Sussex (S). It can hardly be doubted that these second 
flowerings are connected with relatively high temperatures, the 
records of which are taken from the Weekly Weather Report of the 
Meteorological Office, and represent plus or minus deviations from 
the normal.
