Carya sinensis (syn. Annamocarya sinensis) is a species of tree native to southwestern China (Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan) and northern Vietnam, in the hickory genus Carya.[1][2] It is sometimes called Chinese hickory[3] or beaked hickory. It is closely related to Carya kweichowensis.[4]

It is a medium-sized to large evergreen tree growing to Template:Cvt tall. The leaves are Template:Cvt long, and pinnate with 7–11 leaflets. The leaflets have an entire margin, which distinguishes it from other Carya, where the leaflets have a serrated margin. The flowers are catkins produced in spring, with the male catkins in clusters of five to eight together (single in other Carya). The fruit is a nut Template:Cvt long and Template:Cvt broad, with a prominent, acute beak at the apex.
