Inflorescences: staminate catkins 3–4 cm; pistillate catkins 0.8–1.5 cm. Infructescences 2–4 × 1.5–2.5 cm; bracts 1–1.8 × 0.5–1 cm.

Of conservation concern.
Ostrya chisosensis is endemic to Big Bend National Park, Texas. It appears to be related to O. knowltonii and to populations of hop-hornbeams in the mountains of western Mexico; the complex has not been studied in detail.
