In plant anatomy, it is the arrangement of leaves in a bud.
Circinate vernation is the name given to the manner in which new fern fronds emerge.
As a new fern frond is formed, it is tightly curled so that the tender growing tip of the frond (and each subdivision of the frond) is protected within a coil.

 Circinate vernation
Circinate vernation is the name for the way in which new fern fronds emerge.
When a new fern frond is emerging, the frond is called a crozier (after the shepherd's crook) or fiddlehead (after the scrollwork at the top of a violin).
This means that the tender growing tip of the frond is protected in the middle of the coil, while the lower parts of the frond are toughening up and beginning to photosynthesize, supporting the further growth of the frond.

is the presence of involute leaf vernation (the manner in which the blade is rolled or folded before opening).
In all other sections of Anthurium (indeed all other Araceae except the Asian genus Lagenandra), the leaf vernation type (or more appropriately ptyxis) is supervolute, i.e., one margin is rolled inward with the other rolled around it so that a section in end view would look coiled like that of a conch shell.
Even in face view the involute vernation is easily observed for the brief time that a leaf is emerging (Fig.

The vernation may be determined easily by cutting the shoot across immediately below the ligule of the outermost leaf and examining the section with a hand lens.
It may be determined, however, without sectioning, by an examination of the innermost leaf after stripping off or pulling back the outer leaves from the bud.

 Frond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Growth of a fern frond differs from that of a leaf of a flowering plant.
The fern frond unrolls from a tightly-coiled structure called a "fiddle-head" (see circinate vernation).
Some fern species feature frond dimorphism, in which fertile and sterile fronds differ in appearance and structure.
