Question ls command to list recursively ONLY subdirectories

Smilie
ls -dlRr
I've tried different combinations of the ls command using the above-mentioned options but none of them are giving me the output I am looking for.

Objective: To get a recursive listing of all subdirectories from a particular starting point. For example, if my starting point is directory A, and directory A contains subdirectories B, C, D, and each of the subdirectories contains a combination of directories and files called B1, C1, D1, etc., I want a recursive listing of the subdirectories contained, so the output will be something like
A
./B
./B1
./C1
etc. while excluding the list of the individual files.

I tried doing a search for 'ls' in the forum but didn't see anything within the first two pages of the results that the search pulled.

Help please!

Thanks!

CATMAN(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 CATMAN(1)

NAME
catman -- preformat man pages SYNOPSIS
catman [-fLnrv] [directories ...] DESCRIPTION
The catman utility preformats all the man pages in directories using the nroff -man command. Directories may be separated by colons instead of spaces. If no directories are specified, the contents of the MANPATH environment variable is used, or if that is not set, the default directory /usr/share/man is processed. The options are as follows: -f Force all man pages to be reformatted even if the corresponding cat page is newer. -L Process only localized subdirectories corresponding to the locale specified in the standard environment variables. -n Print out what would be done instead of performing any formatting. -r Scan for and remove ``junk'' files that are neither man pages nor their corresponding formatted cat pages. -v Cause catman to be more verbose about what it is doing. ENVIRONMENT
LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG These variables control what subdirectories will be processed if the -L option is used. MACHINE If set, overrides the current machine type when searching for machine specific man page subdirectories. MACHINE_ARCH If set, overrides the current architecture when searching for architecture specific man page subdirectories. MANPATH Determines the set of directories to be processed if none are given on the command line. FILES
/usr/share/man Default directory to process if the MANPATH environment variable is not set. EXIT STATUS
The catman utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
makewhatis(1), man(1), nroff(1) HISTORY
A previous version of the catman command appeared in FreeBSD 2.1. AUTHORS
