NGC 4414 is an unbarred spiral flocculent galaxy about 62 million light-years away. Fore tibia of male covered by a sheath containing masses of flocculent (wooly) scales. NGC 4459 has a central flocculent dust disk that surrounds an inner ring. Self-propagating star formation is the apparent explanation for the structure of flocculent spirals. A flocculent spiral galaxy is a type of spiral galaxy. The nucleus surrounded by an inner flocculent spiral. It is one of the closest flocculent spiral galaxies. It has also shown use as a filter aid and an effective flocculent. The multiple-arm type is sometimes grouped into the flocculent category. Flocculent material has been described as being scattered unevenly throughout the vacuole.
