The Origin of Species

[Question]:the period of flowering with plants when transported from one climate to another

Habit also has a decided influence, as in the period of flowering with plants when transported from one climate to another.

______________________________________

This sentence is in the first Chapter of the Ist Edition of Origin of Species.

But I do not quite catch the meaning.

Can any one kindly explain it for me?

Thank you

Flowering plants can only flower in climates their natural too, but you have to remember when you're talking about the "Origin of the Species," you have to have a whole different outlook on the transportation of seeds. Before the continents drifted apart, all types of species grew wildly; when continental drift occured, those same species moved into different climates and areas of the world, ect. "Habit,' or things that naturally occur have a decided influence on survival; as does changing.
