trolled, the Survival Of unique plant 

 associations and species will be 

 assurred. It is also pleasing lhal the 

 authorities at the Arkaroola Reserve 

 are taking measures to prevent the 

 destruction Of native vegetation by 

 tourists. 



A great deal more remains to be 

 accomplished with botanical explora- 



tion throughout the whole of (fe 

 Flinders Range system. It has been 

 shown that even in the driest of year 

 valuable botanical collections can be 

 secured in this fascinating region 

 Following the record rains of Feh 

 ruary and March 1971 botanic 

 should eonlidentb look forward to 

 one of the best collecting seasons for 

 many years.
