Depiction of the heraldic "avellane cross" from A Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry.

In heraldry, an avellane cross is a form of cross which resembles four hazel filberts in their husks or cases, joined together at the great end.[1] The term comes from the Latin name for the hazel, originally Nux avellana.[2][3] It was fairly rare in English heraldry.[4]
