Deciduous, with the bark exfoliating in thin plates, 

 but at the base of older trunks the bark is persistent, 

 of darker color and furrowed: stipules conspicuous, 

 usually connate into a tube, with spreading If.-like 

 margin; petiole with the enlarged base inclosing the 

 axillary bud: Ivs. palmately lobed, covered densely 

 with stellate hairs when young: fls. monoecious, in 

 dense globular heads, staminate and pistillate similar, 

 but on separate peduncles; sepals and petals 3-8; 

 staminate with 3-8 stamens, pistillate with 3-8 pistils 

 with elongated styles: fr .-heads consisting of numerous 

 narrowly obconical, 1-seeded nutlets surrounded at 

 the base by long hairs. Six or 7 species are known in 

 N. Amer., south to Mex. and from S. E. Eu. to India.
