Description: 
Hamamelis virginiana L., commonly known as witch hazel, is a small tree or shrub that belongs to the Hamamelidaceae family. It grows between 1.5 and 3.5 m in height. The bark is brown and smooth. The leaves are deciduous, elliptic to ovate, margins wavy, asymmetrical at the base, between 7.5 and 12.5 cm long. The flowers are yellow outside and yellowish brown inside, with four characteristic thread-like, about 2 cm long petals. Blooming occurs by the end of autumn, when the leaves fall. The fruit is a capsule. Hamamelis is native to North America, where it often grows in the damp forests of the Southeastern areas (from Brunswick and Quebec until Minnesota, south of Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas). It is cultivated in the United States and Canada. In Europe, cultivation is at the small scale, especially as an ornamental bush for gardens. The leaves must be harvested in summer. The leaves are almost odourless and have an astringent, mildly bitter, aromatic taste.
