Alnus sp.
The larger, reddish catkins are male; the smaller, darker catkins are female. [Please help me identify this unknown plant. I spotted the bush near the observation tower at Huntley Meadows Park (see "Habitat," below). The plant's unusual fruit caught my attention.]

These are the catkins of an Alder.
