The amentaceous (catkin-bearing) trees exhibit the 

 lower flower-types as explained above, and the flower- 

 clusters as a rule are not in the least degree ornamental ; 

 but the rule has a few notable exceptions, as in the chest- 

 nut and some of the birches, the graceful effect of whose 

 long, pendent tassels, white or golden, is not inferior to 

 that of many of the more pretentious blossoming trees. 

 In the beech the catkin takes the form of a globular mass.
