The botanical name for the genus, Carpinus , is the original Latin name for the European species, although some etymologists derive it from the Celtic for a yoke . Hornbeams are small, slow-growing, understory trees with
320-433: The lower branches of mature trees may exhibit marcescence —where leaves wither with autumn but abscission (leafdrop) is delayed until spring. The smooth, gray trunk and larger branches of a mature tree exhibit a distinctive muscle-like fluting. As with other members of the birch family, hornbeam flowers are wind-pollinated pendulous catkins , produced in spring. Male and female flowers are on separate catkins, but on
340-531: The plant genus Carpinus in the family Betulaceae . Its species occur across much of the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere .

The fruit is a small nut about 3–6 millimetres ( 1 ⁄ 8 – 1 ⁄ 4 in) long, held in a leafy bract ; the bract may be either trilobed or simple oval, and is slightly asymmetrical. The asymmetry of the seedwing makes it spin as it falls, improving wind dispersal . The shape of

Formerly some taxonomists segregated them with the genera Corylus ( hazels ) and Ostrya ( hop-hornbeams ) in a separate family, Corylaceae . Modern botanists place Carpinus in the subfamily Coryloideae of the family Betulaceae . Species of Carpinus are often grouped into two subgenera Carpinus subgenus Carpinus and Carpinus subgenus Distegicarpus . Phylogentic analyses have shown that Ostrya likely evolved from
