Another blooming Betulaceae American hazelnut - Corylus americana (in bloom before leaves present) Based on glandular hairs on (many) twigs, this keys out to Corylus americana as opposed to the other possible species, Corylus cornuta (Beaked Hazelnut). Swanson notes an additional useful character not found in other sourcess--stems of staminate catkins in C. cornuta are stalkless, or nearly so, while those of C. americana have longer stalks. Swanson's figure also shows that staminate catkins of C. americana are much longer than those of C. cornuta, but he does not mention this in the text.
