EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration showcases the intricate details of Corylus avellana L., commonly known as the hazel or filbert tree. Belonging to the Betulaceae family, this European native is an essential member of the Fagales order and the Rosid clade of the eudicot group, Angiospermae, within the Magnoliophyta division. The illustration captures the tree's foliage, which consists of alternate, simple leaves with serrated margins and a length of approximately 5-15 cm. The tree's catkins, which appear in early spring before the leaves, are also depicted in the image. These male catkins are elongated and pendulous, measuring around 5-10 cm in length. Later in the season, the hazel tree produces edible nuts enclosed in a hard, protective shell. These nuts, commonly referred to as hazelnuts or cobnuts, are a valuable food source for both humans and wildlife. The illustration reveals the mature nut's oblong shape and brown, textured surface. The botanical name Corylus avellana translates to 'hazel tree of the valley,' reflecting its prevalence in lowland areas throughout Europe. This versatile tree is not only appreciated for its nutritious nuts but also for its attractive foliage and ability to thrive in various soil types and climates. This illustration, part of the Natural History Museum Botany Library Plate Collection, offers a captivating glimpse into the intricacies of the hazel tree and its life cycle. The meticulous attention to detail and stunning accuracy make it an invaluable resource for botanical research and education.
