4. those of Mt. Greville 
5. those of Reynolds Creek Gorge. 
in those situations included in the first category we 
have the very conspicuous Pennisetum compressum some- 
times known as Swamp Foxtail. This was common near 
the camp, but I noticed very little further downstream, 
though it was quite plentiful further upstream. Much 
more wfidely distributed but perhaps not so conspicuous 
is Oplismenus composite. This creeping grass forms 
quite extensive mats on the banks, particularly in the 
shade of the Callistemon trees. A few plants of Burr 
Grass ( Cenchrus australis) were seen also in such situa- 
tions, and on small islands in the stream itself. 
In the damper places, Paspalum distichum , the Water 
Couch, forms a large part of the ground covering, and at 
times extends into the water. Brachiaria foliosa occurs 
here and there as does also a species of ErioMoa. Two 
species of Paspalidium are met with fairly frequently 
along the creek banks, and in such situations, also Blue 
Couch ( Digitaria didactyla), makes its appearance. Just 
above the Reynolds Creek Gorge is a patch of Rice Grass 
( Leersia hexandra ), and associated wfith it is Paspalum 
dilatatum. 
Forming the great bulk of the vegetation of those 
situations which come under the second heading are a 
number of grasses, chiefly Bitter Blue Grass {Amphilophis 
dedpiens), Blue Grass ( Dichanthium sericem ), and a 
number of three-awned spear grasses, notably Aristida 
glumaris, A. calycina, A. vagans, A. ramosa and A. 
gracilipes . Paspalum dilatatum occurs in parts. Scented 
Top ( CapUlipedium parvifloru-m) and Blady Grass 
( Imperata cylmdmca var. Koenigii) are common, particu- 
larly along the edges of paddocks on the flats. Barbed 
Wire Grass ( Cymbopogon refractus) and Hyparrhenia 
filipendula are scattered throughout these flats and on the 
hills between Mt. Edw r ards and Mt. Greville, while the 
Love Grasses, Eragrostis diandra and E. elongata f form 
inconspicuous tufts among the Spear Grasses. Paddock 
Love Grass ( Eragrostis leptostachya) and Weeping Love 
Grass ( Eragrostis parviflora) are rather important con- 
stituents of the grass flora of the flats and low hills. Bunch 
Spear Grass ( Heteropogon contort us) is not particularly 
common, but occurs in isolated clumps here and there. 
Along the roadsides and on the hills Chloris divaricata 
grows fairly freely. On cultivation headlands and in 
other places where the ground has been disturbed we find 
Amphilophis intermedia , while on the site of the camp 
itself conspicuous clumps of Pigeon Grass ( Set aria
