User's notes

Hundreds of plants, including fertile fronds, carpeting a rocky overhang underneath a waterfall. Super cool!!!

I think this is the first record of this species in the ACT since 1985?

Sorry missed comment. Yes. H. cupressiforme. I found two occurrences back in the late 1970s, one not too far from this one nearer to the gap south of Mt Coree, on a moist south facing rocky slope, the other in the Tidbinbilla reserve, also fairly high up.
