0 a group of small flowers hanging like short pieces of string from the branches of particular trees in the spring:
Only some rare words such as catkin exist; none occurred in the corpus.
The flower morphology enables the spring brood to blend into the environment while feeding on the ubiquitous spring catkins.
The male catkins expand and release pollen and the female catkins mature in mid-summer and wind-pollination takes place.
The fruit, maturing in autumn, is composed of many tiny winged seeds packed between the catkin bracts.
The flowers are wind-pollinated catkins, produced in early spring.
The flowers are catkins, with male and female catkins on separate plants (dioecious).
The inflorescence is a catkin of flowers up to 9 cm long, with the female catkins growing longer as the fruits develop.
Although genotypically similar, these eggs, upon hatching, begin feeding on oak leaves rather than the out of season catkins and develop jaws to accommodate feeding.
