Sp. PI., iv. p. 470., Abbild., t. 152., 

 and our fig. 1942.; C. maxima 

 Mill. Diet., No. 2., Du Roy Harbk., 

 i. p. 176., Lam. Illust., t. 780. f. q.', 

 C. sativa Bauh. Pin., 417.; C. s. 

 rubra Ait. Hort. Kew., 1. c. ; red 

 Filbert, Hort. Soc. Cat., No. 18.; 

 Langbartnuss, or Lambertsnuss, 

 Gcr. ; Noisetier franc a Fruit 

 rouge, Poit. et Turp. Arb. Fruit., 

 11.; has a long tubular calyx, 

 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 Willdenow considered this as a species ; the former 

 stating that it comes true from seed. 



* * C. A. 6 tubulosa alba ; C. sativaalba A Hort. Kew., 1. c.; C. A. dlba Lodd. 



Cat., ed. 1836 ; white Filbert, Hort. Soc. Cat., No. 19. ; weisse Lang- 

 bartnuss, Ger. ; only differs from the preceding variety in having the 

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

 a variety of the preceding. 



* * C. A. 7 crispa Encyc. of Plants; the frizzled 



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

 No. 16.; and our jig. 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 they are produced early, 

 and in great abundance. 



* * C. A. 8 tennis 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. 

 a C. A. 9 glomerata Bauh. Pin., 418., Ait. Hort. Kew., iv. p. 303.; C. A. 

 glomerata Lodd. Cat., ed. 1836 ; Cluster Nut, Hort. Soc. Cat., No. 6. ; 

 Noisetier a Grappes, Fr. ; has the fruit produced in clusters. 



* * C. A. 10 barceloncnsis Lodd. Cat., ed. 1836 ; C. sativa gnindis Bauh. 



Pin., 418., Ait. Hort. Kew., v. p. 303. j C. A. grandis Lodd. Cat., 

 ed. 1836 ; the Cob Nut, syn. the Barcelona Nut, Downton large Nut, 

 &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 

 hard shell, well filled by the kernel. This variety was introduced by 

 Ray, from Barcelona, before 1665. 



flfc C. A. 11 Lamberti-, C. Lamberti Lodd. Cat., ed. 1836; the Spanish 

 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- 

 bearded nut, or filbert.
