the fact of fig. before the appearance of the 1. renders their chance of 



fert. greater. On the inner side of the br. in the $ catkin are found 



2 scales and, adnate to these, 4 8 sta., each 



branched nearly to the base. Here only the central stem 



fl. of the possible 3 (cf. diagram of fam.) is pre- % 3 ft. % 



sent, with its bracteoles a, j3. In the ? catkin, a /3 



on the other hand, we have the two lat. and not bract 



the central fl. as shown in the second diagram 



(* = missing fl.). At the time of fert. the ovary stem 



is minute, but the long red stigmas are easily a a' 



identified. After fert. the ovary (a-loc. at first) a ? (1. % ? fl. /3 



gives a one-seeded nut. enclosed in a cup of /?' /3' 



green leafy nature, really the combined bract bract 



and bracteoles a, a', /3', very much developed. 



The fl. is chalazogamic (cf. Chalazoganiae}. The nuts of this and 



other sp. are valuable as dessert fr., &c. (hazel-nut, cob-nut, filbert), 



and have been cultivated from very early limes (cf. Goeschke, Die 



Hasclnnss, Berlin, 1887). Wood elastic, but cannot be obtained in 



large boards. Oil from the seeds.
