Characters of the buds and bark are taxonomically important in Carya, but shoots with terminal buds and information about bark characteristics are frequently absent on herbarium specimens.
Scales of terminal buds valvate; axillary buds protected by pair of valvate bracteoles or by bracteoles fused into hood; leaflets (5–)7–13(–17), symmetric or falcate; staminate catkins at base of leafy shoots on new wood, and commonly on reduced shoots from old wood; husk sutures winged; shells thin or thick; seeds sweet or bitter (sect.
