   • 2015 August 15, “A Kew Gardens in the Sussex countryside: from the archive, 15 August 1966”, in The Guardian‎^[1]:

     Here, too, were woodlands half as big again in acreage as Kew itself: a tract of the old St Leonard’s Forest harbouring unique English plants and, elsewhere, trees gathered from the earth’s four corners - the giant California redwood, the handkerchief tree that flutters its white flags in high summer, the eucryphia now, in August, smothered white as a camelia, the magnificent magnolia Campbellii that in spring is rose-pink, with blooms 10 inches across.
