- Hrabová, Šumperk district, Olomouc region - adopted 4 Jun 1998 - the
yellow items are fruits of the hornbeam.
Jarig Bakker, 14 Feb 2004
The fruit of the common hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) is a small
nut surrounded by a trilobate involucra (the three leaflets), which
helps the dispersal of the fruit by wind. The same kind of 'winged' fruit
is found in maples.
