Commentary |
A dioecious deciduous tree that grows along valleys in the mountains. It often produces basal shoots out from the base of the plant and grows in clumps. The flowers bloom before the leaves emerge and have no petals or sepals, but the anthers and stigma are red and the entire crown of the tree appears reddish during the flowering period. The round leaves yellow earlier than those of other trees and have a sweet smell. |
