Usually I find brass buttons as
scattered, individual weeds in my lawn or garden. This patch was
in someone else's lawn. My attention was first called to the
brass buttons because its stem and leaves are very similar to those of
the lawn burweed.
The brass button plant branches right
from the top of its single tap root. Its leaves are sort of
feathery.
The flower head is on a relatively
long peduncle (stem). The one on the right still has some of the
fruit attached.
