Comptonia

Comptonia peregrina is a low-growing, deciduous shrub that typically reaches a height of about 1.5 meters. Its slender branches are covered in soft hairs during their early growth stages. The leaves are aromatic, olive-green, and can grow up to 10 centimeters in length, featuring a fern-like structure with rounded leaflets. In the spring, this plant produces small, brown male catkins that can measure up to 2.5 centimeters, which emerge either before or simultaneously with the unfolding of the leaves.
