Synoni/mcs. Charme, Fr. ; Haynbuche, or Hainbuche, Gcr. 



Derivfilitm. According to some, from car, wood, and /»/>, 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 calle<l carpenlum, and which the Swedes still call karm. The 

 French name, Charme, is evidently from the same origin. The Kiigiish name of Hornbeam alludes 

 to the horny texture of the wo(k1 ; and the German one of Hainbuche, to the use of the wood for 

 making groves in the geometric style of gardening. 



Dcicriptioti, Sfc. Deciduous trees, mostly of the middle size ; natives of 

 Europe, Asia, and America ; little valued either for their timber or orna-
