Derivation. According to some, from car, wood, and pix, the head, Celtic ; from the wood being 
used to make the yokes of oxen: and, according to others, from the Romans using the wood for 
making a sort of chariot, which they called carpentum, and which the Swedes still call karm. The 
French name, Charme, is evidently from the same origin. The English name of Hornbeam alludes 
to the horny texture of the wood ; and the German one of Hainbuche, to. the use of the wood for 
making groves in the geometric style of gardening. 
Description, §c. Deciduous trees, mostly of the middle size; natives of 
Europe, Asia, and America; little valued either for their timber or orna- 
mental effect; but one species valuable as a garden hedge plant.
