| Alnus pendula, a small
deciduous tree with black-brown barks, many of them inhabit poor
lands in hilly to mountainous regions, branching well to grow to
2-7m in height. Leaves are alternate, 5-10cm in length, 2-4cm in
width, narrow-oval-like lanceolate, upper portions tapering to
points, and bases round, with margins with fine serrations. Lateral
veins comprise 20-26 pairs, dent at surfaces, and protrude on the
backsides. Flowers are monoecious, simultaneously open with the
development of the leaves. Male inflorescences with no petioles, 1-3
in number, droop down at the end of the branches, and females with
petioles, 3-6 in number, set themselves below the males. Bloom time:
March-May. |
