| Corylus sieboldiana,
a deciduous shrub, generally 2-3m in height, grows in
mountainous regions with light gray-brown smooth barks. Leaves are
of alternate phyllotaxis, 5-11cm long, 3-7cm wide, in the shape of a
broad-obovate, tips abruptly become narrow to points, bases
circular, with irregular double serrations on margins. Flowers are
monoecious; they bloom in March-May before the leaves develop. Male
inflorescences emerging below branch tips measure 3-15cm long, in
which male flowers singly appear in bracts with eight stamens.
Female flowers set themselves some at the branch tips and bloom
inside bud scales wrapped in; only the dark red styles ( the
portions between ovaries and stigmas) peep out of them. Bloom time:
March-May. |
