Botrychium lunaria (Ophioglossaceae)

 
Botrychium lunaria (moonwort) is an uncommon and very distinctive native fern. It mainly grows in subalpine grasslands in the Central Highlands. Each plant produces one frond (often about 5cm long) that divides into a pinnately lobed vegetative lamina, and a similarly lobed fertile frond.
