Publications
The SBRS has provided the information for a number of publications connected with the wild plants of Sussex.
Some of these publications are available from the Sussex Biodiversity Records Centre (www.sxbrc.org.uk/biodiversity/publications) and others are available from booksellers specialising in natural history books. Unfortunately some of the publications are now out of print. The SBRS occasionally acquires copies of these publications and makes them available to our members at the normal price.
