Lemon Button Fern, commonly known as the Button Fern, is a small, semi-evergreen to evergreen fern and a perennial drought-tolerant plant. It reaches a height of about 15 centimeters with a short, upright rhizome densely covered in maroon-black scales. The fern’s petioles are chestnut-colored, glossy, and cylindrical, and the once-pinnately compound fronds grow in clusters, reaching 30-45 centimeters in height, with 20-40 pinnae that are opposite leaves, circular to broadly oblong in shape, measuring 0.6-1.2 centimeters in length. Over time, the petioles gradually turn a deep red. The leaves are smooth and glossy, resembling rows of buttons, with the apical pinnae being oval to hastate-ovate, each pinna having a short stalk, entire margin, and slightly toothed or spiny.
