 II, i 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.

 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 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.

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

 Hay, from Barcelona, before 1665.

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

 ■ v cry thick shell. The name of Lambert's Nut we suppose to be 

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

 bearded out, or filbert.
