American hophornbeam / Ironwood

Ostrya virginiana

Notes:

gold #22: Due to its small size, ironwood is often excluded from the limelight given to many of its eastern forest companions. Yet the tree decorates the understory with its twisted form and scaly bark. Ironwood is just what the name implies: dense and strong.
