But the most beautiful of the Hornbeams of Japan, as it appears in the forests of Yezo, is Carpinus cordata, which often attains the height of forty feet, with a stout trunk sometimes eighteen inches in diameter, covered with dark deeply furrowed scaly 'bark. The stout branchlets are orange-color, or light brown when they are three or four years old, and are covered with large oblong pale lenticels. This species is remarkable in the size of its winter- buds, which are fully grown by midsummer, ...and are sometimes nearly an inch in length, and acute, and covered with light chestnut-brown papery scales. The leaves are thin, broadly ovate, pointed, deeply cordate, doubly serrate, six or seven inches long, and three or four inches broad ; they are light green on both surfaces, although rather lighter colored on the lower, with conspicuous yellow midribs and veins slightly hairy below and impressed above. The catkins of fruit are often five or six inches long and an inch and a half wide, with broadly ovate, remotely serrate bracts ; their basal lobe is proportionately much larger than that of the last species, and is sometimes a third of the length of the bract, to which it is often united along nearly its entire length, while in Carpinus Carpinus the lobe is only attached at the base.
