The vegetation of Narran Lake Nature Reserve (4527 ha) in the central north of New South Wales approximately 30 km west of Cumborah (29°43', 147°29') in the Walgett Shire on the North Western Plains and the Darling River Plains Bioregion is described. Seven communities are defined based on flexible UPGMA analysis of cover-abundance scores of all vascular plant taxa. These communities are mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and geological substrate. All communities are simple in structure being primarily woodlands, shrublands and herbfields. Communities are: 1) Mixed Low Woodlands, 2) Mulga Low Woodlands, 3) Triodia Hummock Grasslands, 4) Chenopod Low Open Shrublands, 5) Ephemeral Herbfields, 6) Riparian Open Forests, and 7) Lignum Shrubby Thickets. A total of 325 taxa were recorded including two species listed under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995), Lepidium monoplocoides and Goodenia macbarroni. An additional 11 species are considered to be at their geographic limit or disjunct in their distribution; 11% are exotic in origin.
