1. hornbeam

   Hornbeam is a term used to describe a specific type of hardwood tree that belongs to the Betulaceae family. Hornbeam trees are typically found in the Northern Hemisphere and predominantly used for timber due to their hardness and durability. They have smooth, gray bark and produce catkin flowers and small nut-like fruits. The leaves are alternate and typically have a serrated margin. The term 'hornbeam' is derived from the tree's hardness, horn meaning 'hard' and beam meaning 'tree' in Old English.

1. Hornbeam

   Hornbeams are relatively small hardwood trees in the genus Carpinus. Though some botanists grouped them with the hazels and hop-hornbeams in a segregate family, Corylaceae, modern botanists place the hornbeams in the birch subfamily Coryloideae. The 30–40 species occur across much of the north temperate regions, with the greatest number of species in east Asia, particularly China. Only two species occur in Europe, and only one in eastern North America.
