Carpinus orientalis (Oriental Hornbeam) is a hornbeam native from southeastern Europe to northern Iran[1] and occurs usually on hot dry sites at lower altitudes than European Hornbeam.
It is a small tree, rarely over 10 m tall and often shrubby. It has small leaves, 3-5 cm long. The seeds differ from those of European Hornbeam in having a simple bract (not trilobed), about 2 cm long.
