contracting so much beyond the 



apex of the fruit, as to prevent 



its falling out. It has a middle- ' 



sized ovate-oblong nut, the kernel 



of which is of excellent flavour for 



the table; and has a red pellicle, 



which was anciently used in medicine as a powerful astringent. 



Miller and Willilenow considered this as a species ; the former 



stating that it conies true from seed.

pellicle of its kernel white. It is mentioned by Miller (ed. 1759), as 



a variety of the preceding. 

 * * C. A. 7 a-ispa Encyc. of Plants; the frizzled 



Filbert, Pom. Mag., t. 70., Hort. Soc. Cat., 



No. 16.; and out ^g. 1943. — A most re- 

 markable variety, and well deserving of 



cultivation as an ornamental shrub, from 



the singular appearance it presents in its 



greatly laciniated calyx. The nuts are 



rather small ; but the}' are produced early, 



and in great abundance. 

 fit * C. A. 8 tenuis Lodd. Cat., ed. 1836; the 



thin-shelled, or Cosford, Nut, Pom. Mag., 



t. .55., Hort. Soc. Cat., No. 12.; has a nut 



with a thin shell, beautifully striated longi- 

 tudinally. The kernel is of good quality, 

 and the tree is a great bearer.

&c., Hort. Soc. Cat., No. 8.; forms a tree of upright growth, with a 



short, ovate, slightly compressed nut, having a thick and very strong 



Iku\I shell, well filled by the kernel. This variety was introduced by 



Hay, from Barcelona, before 1665.

Nut, syn. large Bond Nut, Lambert's Nut, Lambert's large Nut, 



Toker Nut, &c., Hort. Soc. Cat., No. 29. ; has a large oblong nut, with 



a very thick shell. The name of Lambert's Nut we suppose to be 



a corruption of the German word Langbartnuss ; literally, the long- 



beardeii nut, or filbert.
