Button Fern (Pellaea Rotundifolia)

Pellaea Rotundifolia is a species of fern that botanist has grouped under the Pteridaceae family. Commonly referred to as button fern, this plant grows in a clumpy structure with branches that creep out in a very vine-like fashion. While closely resembling the lemon button fern, Pellaea Rotundifolia exhibits a noticeably larger, darker color to its leaves. Many proud owners living in the northeastern region of the states will usually place this plant outside of a window or in their lawn since this fern has the ability to tolerate colder climates.
