Alnus orientalis
Alnus orientalis, the Oriental alder, is a deciduous,[1] short-lived[2] species of alder (Alnus). It grows up to 50 meters high, and is native to Cyprus and Cilicia.[3] Its catkins are brown, and bloom from January to March.[1] It usually lives near water, and is resistant to atmospheric pollution, and, like many other alders, is able to capture atmospheric nitrogen with its roots.[2] It is found in Southern Turkey, northwest Syria, Cyprus, Lebanon, and Iran.[4]
