 In the part of the valley designated the gorge, 

 the river flows between high rocky banks. In 

 many places these are quite bare and smooth, 

 while in others there are rifts and crevices in 

 which soil has found lodgement. The water 

 draining from the slopes beyond over these 

 banks keep them continually moist and here a 

 few hydrophytes flourish, most frequent of 

 which are: 



Paruassia fimhriata Pingulciihi vulgaris 

 Chelone uemorosa Campamila petiolata 



Where the banks are high and well shaded 

 they are frecjuently moss covered, and in this 

 mossy covering one often meets with a pecu- 

 liar form of SelagineUa rupestris. As is well 

 known this species is found typically upon dry, 

 exposed generally sandy rocks and grows in 

 tufts. The form occuring along the Gordon 

 river is loose, has long, slender stems and 

 branches and twines among the moist moss.
