duplicating an existing directory structure

I'm quite certain that, once upon a time, I ran across a command (or an option
to a familiar command) that would allow me to (easily) create an empty copy
of an existing directory structure. Can anybody remind of that command or
option?
I'm sure I could do it with find, and I might resort to that (I'm playing with
find anyway to do part of the job I'm doing), but that other command would
seem to be much simpler. I'm doing some googling, and I've at least
re-skimmed the man pages for cp, mkdir, ls (for no good reason), and cpio.
The command I'm looking for is not mirrordir--that copies files as well--I
just want a duplicate empty directory structure.
My system does not have tree installed, so I'm now googling for that--maybe
that's what I'm looking for. Just thought I'd ask here, maybe somebody knows
off the top of their head.
