Revision as of 19:54, 24 September 2019

Shrubs, open spreading, to (4–)6 m. Bark light brown, smooth. Branches ascending; twigs glabrous to sparsely pubescent, without glandular hairs. Winter buds containing inflorescences ovoid, 3–5 × 3–4 mm, apex acute. Leaves: petiole glabrous to moderately pubescent, without glandular hairs. Leaf blade ovate to obovate or narrowly elliptic, often nearly angular and lobulate near apex, 5–12 × 3.5–9 cm, base narrowly cordate to narrowly rounded, margins coarsely and often irregularly doubly serrate, apex usually distinctly acuminate; surfaces abaxially glabrous to moderately pubescent, usually pubescent on major veins and in vein axils. Inflorescences: staminate catkins usually in clusters of 2–3, 4.5–6 × 0.5–0.8 cm; peduncles mostly 0.5–2 mm. Nuts in clusters of 2–6; involucral tubular beak long, narrow, 2–3(–4) times length of nuts, densely bristly. 2n = 22, 28.


Phenology: Flowering very early spring.
Habitat: Moist to dry roadsides, edges of woods, fencerows, waste places, and thickets, or as understory in open woodlands
Elevation: 100–500 m

Discussion

Like Corylus americana Walter, the beaked hazel (C. cornuta subsp. cornuta) is a weedy shrub and is sometimes considered a pest in carefully managed northern forests. The fruits are similar to those of C. americana, except that the surrounding bracts are connate into a long, narrow, tubular beak. Vegetative individuals of C. cornuta subsp. cornuta can be distinguished from C. americana by the absence of glandular hairs on the petioles and young twigs.
