Can ls recursively list only directories?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to get ls to recursively list only directories. I know that -R is the recursion flag, but when I try "ls -R -d */" I only get one level below the current one, it doesn't go any further. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

This should get you what you're looking for.

Code:

find . -type d

The command I use is tree.
You can read about it here:
http://linux.ctyme.com/man/man3582.htm

or just 'man tree'

You can also pipe it's output into an ascii file like this
tree -d > list.txt
It's great for mapping directories.
