THE LIST AND ITS ARRANGEMENT 
Most of the specimens at each exclosurc were identified in the field but unusual 
specimens were sent to the National Herbarium for identification. Obviously there 
are disadvantages in not having voucher specimens to verify all identifications but 
the time involved in collecting easily recognisable species and having them identified, 
combined with the problems of specimen mounting and storage, dictated against 
collecting voucher specimens when positive field identification was possible. 
Collection of data was carried out at the Cobar site between 1963 and 1976, 
while all other areas were visited between 1973 and 1976. Most collections were 
made in spring, although some visits were made at other times. We do not, however, 
claim that our collections at each site are exhaustive. 
For convenience of reference, species are shown in alphabetical order within 
families, which are in turn arranged alphabetically. The family, generic and specific 
names arc those currently in use at the New South Wales National Herbarium. 
Exotic species, marked with an asterisk (*), have been included only when they have 
been naturalized in the area and are capable of reproduction and persistence in the 
natural environment.
