In Search of Tunbridge Filmy Fern

In research for final project ideas I spent some time exploring Eridge Rocks for Tunbridge Filmy Fern, a small and rare fern that was first discovered in Tunbridge Wells.  There was a huge array of mosses, lichens and ferns on the sandstone outcrops, a whole world of strange little green plants!  I doubt too many people will find these as interesting as I do but it's good to share the love.   The search ended in failure unfortunately but here are a few pictures from the site (I shall add captions as I id them):


Pellia epiphylla (Liverwort)

Cladonia sp








Better luck next time.
