Carpinus japonica (Japanese Hornbeam) is a hornbeam native to Japan.
It grows to 12-15m tall with leaves that are longer and darker than the European Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus).[2] The leaves are dark, glossy and slender, with 20-24 pairs of parallel sunken veins; every third tooth is whisker-tipped.
