Alternate name

[edit]

Carpinus caroliniana is also called "blue beech" as well as "ironwood" in the northeast USA, as the WP article says. Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 14:42, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Botanical name

[edit]

I suggest all plants and animals should be entered under their botanical or zoological name and cross-referenced to their common name. Hornbean should therefore be entered as: Carpinus betulus L.Osborne 20:54, 3 October 2013 (UTC) Have just checked - Hornbean is entered under Carpinus betulus L. Osborne 20:57, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Same difference?

[edit]

I know that the common names of plants can be quite confused. But, since "blue beech" redirects to an article I just saw, Carpinus caroliniana, I'm wondering how the two articles differ? If they don't differ appreciably and are really meant for the same tree or closely related trees, why two articles then? Should a merge be contemplated? Please help me understand. Thank you and Merry New Year, 24.47.173.120 (talk) 06:58, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Blue beech" is a common name used in North America for the native species Carpinus caroliniana. The hornbeam article covers the entire genus Carpinus, including one European species and several Asian species as well as the North American species. Plantdrew (talk) 00:48, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Needs wing pic

[edit]

This page needs a pic of the seed wing, at least one, but preferably a range of the different species, as this is SO diagnostic of the genus. IceDragon64 (talk) 20:47, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(1 year later) This page still needs a photo of the seed wing. Failure to address comments seems to be a big problem with Wikipedia! 173.88.246.138 (talk) 14:06, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To add to article

[edit]

To add to this article: a photo of hornbeam wood, or something made from hornbeam wood. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 14:05, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
