Shrubs. Leaves highly variable, often large, both surfaces pilose or pilose only abaxially, rarely pilose along veins, subglabrous or glabrous when mature, margin entire or indistinctly serrate. Catkins cylindric, peduncle, rarely subsessile long, with 2-5 leaflets; bracts pilose at least on one surface.
