The suspicion is that the mountain could have obtained its name from this grass, a suspicion that emerged from our spokesman when we called Horn Gordon's leadership. But this could not have been the case. The preaching grass, also known as ministerial lice (Smith 1966 cnsap 377), the Bromus Diandrus, is apparently imported, viz. From Southern Europe, as our Smith S.V. Bronkhorstgrass p. 179 correctly understand. The uostanic communication of our spokesman was done by means of accessible, viz. At what is in th a ** 624-627.

Missenheimer CF 1977 Principal Conversation 'So between the ranges of the Kamiesberg, you get such valleys, lows and so on. There is grass, and one we call preaching grass. He's like a minister. He crawls in and you don't get it out. He has such a sharp halm. He kills the grain, he is a parasite. You can put him in your shirt sleeve, then you shake it, and if you get him back, he runs above. The old people believed you should look after, he went to your heart. He is so 15 dm high '

Meissenheimer CF 1977 Skoolhoof Gesprek 'So tussen die reekse van die Kamiesberge kry jy sulke valleie, laagtes en so aan. Daar is gras, en een wat ons noem predikantsgras. Hy is soos ’n predikant. Hy kruip in en jy kry horn nie rnaklik uit nie. Hy het so 'n skerp halmpie. Hy groei die graan dood, hy is ’n parasiet. Jy kan horn in jou hempsmou insit, dan skud jy dit, en as jy horn weer kry, dan loop hy hierbo. Die oumense het geglo jy moet oppas, hy trek na jou hart toe. Hy is so 15 dm hoog'

Die vermoede is dat die berg sy naam van hierdie grassoort kon gekry het, ’n vermoede wat by ons segsman opgekom het toe ons horn Gordon se af- leiding genoem het. Maar dit kon nie die geval gewees het nie. Die predikantsgras, ook bekend as predikantsluis (Smith 1966 CNSAP 377), die Bromus diandrus, is blykbaar ingevoer, nl. uit Suid-Europa, as ons Smith s.v. bronkhorstgras bl. 179 reg verstaan. Die Uostaande mededeling van ons segsman is gedoen by wyse van toegif alleen, nl. by wat staan in TH A** 624-627.
