The following brief accounts of special types of vegetation are 

 included to indicate the commonest species and their relationship. 

 There has been hitherto no record of the plant life found in the main 

 cecological groupings in this country. 



Strand Plants. — Along a narrow strip of beach stretching to as 

 much as twenty yards from high-tide mark, and with practically no 

 humus, is found a group of plants peculiar to the conditions of proximity 

 to the edge of the sea, instability of the sand except when they fix it,
