Button fern. (Pellaea rotundifolia) This plant currently has a few fertile fronds, which means there are spore pods growing on the underside of some of the leaves. The spores can be harvested to grow new plants. I haven’t yet tried, but will report back if I have any success with future fern-spore propagation experiments.
