Both Hymenophyllum species growing together on Sliabh gCuillinn summit, Co. Armagh (H37) in the scree. Associated with liverwort Plagiochila spinulosa, the 1st rec for the mountain. Nice to see some fir clubmosses too.

New site record of Hymenophyllum tunbrigense for Co. Louth (H31) growing in a rocky woodland on a minor hill. Happy to find this one today. A very scarce species in the county.
