Comptonia
The catkin-bearing tree in the birch family is called a Betula tree. Betula trees produce both male and female catkins, which are the tree's reproductive structures.
The red catkin is likely from a red alder tree (Alnus rubra), which produces reddish catkins in spring. Alder trees are known for their distinctive cone-like catkins and are commonly found in North America.
A catkin can also be referred to as an ament.
