Benson, Vegetation of Upper Mangrove Creek 
17 
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 
The survey was undertaken at the request of the New South Wales Department 
of Public Works for information on the native vegetation which would be affected 
by the proposed Gosford-Wyong Water Supply Scheme. I wish to thank Mrs 
Helen Bryant for her help in collecting the data and preparing the diagrams and map, 
and my colleagues at the National Herbarium of New South Wales for help with the 
identification of specimens and comments on the manuscript.
