Ostrya rehderiana (Zhejiang hop-hornbeam, Chinese: 天目铁木; lit. 'Tianmu iron tree') is a tree in the Betulaceae family. It can grow up to 15 metres (49 ft) tall.[2] It is endemic to Zhejiang province in China. The wild population apparently consists of only five trees on Tianmu Mountain, and the species is under first-class national protection in China.[3]
