Greg. Cortaderia pilosa, of vigorous growth. 



In tlie grass-cushions were noted stray individuals of the following species; 

 nearly all were very stunted (f): Baccliaris magellanica, Blechnum penna marina,

 uiulerstood without further explanations: 



1. Social, dominant. 



2. Gregarious, forming groups or patches in the main vegetation. 



3. Copious, common in scattered specimens. 



4. Sparse, scattered here and there.
