Fothergilla (witch alder) is a genus of two or three species of flowering plants in the family Hamamelidaceae native to woodland and swamps of the southeastern United States.They are low-growing deciduous shrubs growing to 1–3 m (3–10 ft) tall with downy twigs. The brush-like flowers are produced before the leaves in spring on terminal spikes; they do not have any petals but a conspicuous cluster of white stamens 2–3 cm long.
