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: 
Parnassia jfimbriata Pinguicula vulgaris 
Chelone nemorosa Campanula petiolata 
Where the banks are high and well shaded 
they are frequently moss covered, and in this 
mossy covering one often meets with a pecu- 
har form of Selaginella 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 
fiver 1s loose, has long, slender stems and 
branches and twines among the moist moss.
