Goldfern

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 200 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many long and flexible, straight stems covered in hard, ridged, light gray bark, and the wood inside is yellow.

The branches trail down across the ground with dozens of twigs that and are covered with small bunches of giant, 3 pointed, leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are found in gold and slate varieties, flimsy and rough.

It produces large amounts of small, caramel flowers with oval-shaped shaped petals. They fall easily and have an overpowering scent that smells like cigarette smoke. In mid-summer it forms giantslate, spiky-shelled seeds.
