Catkin is a flower cluster that consists of numerous small flowers arranged around a long central axis. Catkins have no petals or inconspicuous petals. Catkins are found in many plant families. Catkin bearing plants include many other trees or shrubs such as birch, willow, sweet chestnut, sweet fern and few herbaceous plants. Catkin is also called as ament.
Each flower of catkins lacks a petal unlike many other wild flowers. Since there are no petals, grayish or yellowish-green catkins are rarely thought of as flowers. Each catkin is either staminate (male, producing pollen) or distillate (female, producing seeds). Wind pollinates female catkins. In Salix species, the pollination occurs by insects. Pussy willow is the most familiar catkin. Majority of catkins are long and drooping. Catkins contain many, usually unisexual, flowers that are arranged closely along a drooping central stem. Catkins can be found in many plant families. Catkins appear on the branches of willows, birch and many other plants long before other spring flowers blossom.
