15 where hail had fallen. DOUG SHIPMAN Note Please send any of your own observations of the storm to me for future publication. TONY BONIFACE WHAT GROWS DOWN YOUR STREET? Plant hunting in winter is still possible if you turn your attention to lichens, mosse and liverworts. Neither is it necessary to go out into the countryside in order to find them; just try searching the walls and pavements around your home. Identification may be a problem, but this can be overcome by collecting your specimens and placing them separately in paper envelopes with their location, e.g. top of wall, or between paving stones, the name of the street and a grid reference. They could then be sent to our Recorders:- Mosses and Liverworts Dr. K. J. Adams, 63 Wroths Path, Baldwins Hill, Loughton, Essex, IG10 1SH.
