HORNBEAM 



239 



(i.e. plicate, but not conduplicate), pubescent. Autumn 

 leaves yellow. 



Fig. 85. Hornbeam, Carpinus Betulus, p. 238 (Ett). 



The Elms have more forked secondaries, are usually 

 harsher, and have much smaller buds and stipules, and 

 the oblique leaf is conduplicate and less plicate in bud. 

 The most obvious distinctions are derived from the bark, 

 flowers, and fruits.
