The association is thus characterized by its closed nature, the variety and individual abundance of its herbs, and the infrequence of woody plants. On its lower margins it usually merges into a Hebe shrubland. Beyond a rare example of *Rumex Acetosella and *Hypochaeris radicata in barish patches caused by small slips, exotic plants are absent.

In the flushed ground above stream sources Celmisia Haastii assumes a local dominance, giving a greyish green tint to the whole slope. Streamsides are much richer in plants than those of the fell-field. Here to be found are Schoenus pauciflorus in quantity, Scirpus aucklandicus, Carex Raoulii, Poa imbecilla, Cardamine heterophylla var., Oxalis lactea, Ranunculus Monroi, Schizeleima hydrocotyloides, Senecio Lyallii vars., and in the water abundance of Epilobium macropus and Montia fontana. On gravelly margins are Claytonia australasica, Raoulia tenuicaulis, Epilobium pedunculare var.,.Ourisia caespitosa.
