Botrychium crenulatum is a species of fern known by the common names scalloped moonwort and dainty moonwort. It is native to North America from British Columbia to California to Wyoming where it is uncommon throughout most of its range appearing incidentally at scattered spots on wet meadows in coniferous forests and marshy areas such as swamps. This is very small plant growing from an underground caudex and sending one thin shiny yellow-green leaf above the surface of the ground.
