Cló Iar-Chonnacht (CIC; Irish pronunciation: [ˌklˠoː iəɾˠ ˈxɔn̪ˠəxt̪ˠ]; "West Connacht Press") is an Irish language publishing company founded in 1985 by writer Micheál Ó Conghaile, a native speaker of Irish from Inis Treabhair in Connemara. He set the company up while still a student.
Work
[edit]CIC publishes poetry, short stories, novels, children's books, non-fiction and historical works. CIC also publishes bilingual books and books in English, most of the latter being translations of important works in Irish.
CIC also issues recordings of traditional music, one of the original aims being to record sean-nós singers from Conamara. The range of music has been extended to include such genres as Cajun music and the music of Cape Breton. Spoken word recordings are also available.
A stated aim of CIC is to draw local and international attention to writers and musicians who work through Irish. To date over three hundred books have been published, along with many albums.
In 2019 CIC took over Cois Life publishers.[2]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
