Alnus orientalis, the Oriental alder, is a deciduous,[2] short-lived[3] species of alder (Alnus). It grows up to 50 meters high, and is native to Cyprus and Cilicia.[4] Its catkins are brown, and bloom from January to March.[2] 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.[3] It is found in Southern Turkey, northwest Syria, Cyprus, Lebanon, and Iran.[5]
