■ en these and abundant though less conspicuous are Brovius 
tZxms, Festuca rigida, Melilotus indica, Plantago coronopus, 
^ iSenecio lautus. Fairly abundant in certain places are the 
Evening Primroses {Oenothera odorata and 0. longiflora) and 
the pretty summer-flowering Brachycome ciliaris — a plant evident- 
mhlk to flourish and flower in sandy soil, even in a drought and 
Jwell worthy of cultivation. Bemeen Victor Harbor and Port

al. Marram grass is establishing itself here forming communities. 
■Midway between these two towns, a few patches of Halorrhagis 
Jdcutmgula and several plants of Scaevola suaveole^is may be
