Juncus bufonius (Linne). — Along the banks of watercourses

 particularly prolific on the soft mica-schistose formation 

 near Omeo. 



Juncus communis (E. Meyer). — Abundant on wet flats near 

 Omeo, on metamorphic-schist formation, from 2000 to 

 3000 feet, and ascending to much greater elevations. 



Juncus prismatocarpus (R. Brown). — Similar in its stations 1 

 to Juncus bufonius. 



Eestiace^: (R. Brown). 



Restio australis (R. Brown). — On marshy alluvium at the 

 head of Livingstone Creek, from 3000 to 4000 feet 

 elevation, and along the Dividing Range, from Mount 

 Tambo to Mount Cobboras and Mount Pilot, at about 

 6000 feet elevation ; on marshy flats. 



Calostrophus lateriflorus (F.v. M.). — On the source-runnels of 

 the Cobungra and Bundara Rivers, intersecting Bogong 

 High Plains ; in basaltic areas. This species is abundant, 

 and generally found growing on beds of spagnum,

Cyperace^e (Haller). 



Kyllinga intermedia (R. Brown). — On the alluvial flats at the

 at about 1600 feet ; not seen at higher elevations. It 

 ascends to this station from the Murray River at lower 

 levels. 



Cyperus Eragrostis (Vahl). — On the granitic area at the junc- 

 tion of the Cobungra and Big Rivers, at about 2200 

 feet, and on the Mitta Mitta below its junction with the 

 Livingstone Creek ; on metamorphic-schist formation, at 

 an altitude of 1000 to 1600 feet. 



Cyperus lucidus (R. Brown). — Common on shaded hill-sides, 

 at the sources of springs, on the Livingstone Creek ; up 

 to 4000 feet. On southern side of Mount Livingstone, 

 at elevations of 3000 feet, it occurs in its greatest 

 luxuriance, the stems frequently attaining a height of 

 5 feet.
