"Cross bottonnée" is derived from the French "bouton", a bud or knob, though the name does not appear to be used by French heralds, who use the term "tréflée". It is a cross ending in three lobes like the trefoil leaf, and is of rather frequent occurrence. 4, record 1, English, - cross%20bottonn%C3%A9e
