Ironwood, also known as Homalium racemosum, is a remarkable tree species found in Nouvelle-Guinee, Papua New Guinea. With its dense and durable wood, it has earned the nickname "Le Bois De Fer" or "ironwood. " This unique characteristic makes it highly sought after for various purposes. In 1900, an unknown creator captured the beauty trees through a captivating photograph (Picture No. 10909311). The image showcases their majestic presence in the lush forests of Papua New Guinea. These trees stand tall and proud, their trunks adorned with intricate patterns that tell stories of resilience and strength. But Ironwood is not limited to just one region; it can also be found in other parts of the world like North America. In particular, the American hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana), commonly known as Hop-hornbeam or Ostrya virginica, shares similarities with Ironwood in terms of appearance and durability (Picture No. 10909312). The fascination with Ironwood extends beyond photography; artists have depicted this magnificent tree species using watercolor and ink on paper techniques dating back to c. 1790-95 (F. 22 Nestegis apetala; Pittosporum bracteolatum). These artworks capture the essence of flowering plants intertwined with Ironwood's robust branches (Picture No. 10909308). Legend has it that even old mother nature herself wonders about Odur's whereabouts while standing amidst these enchanting woods (Can you tell me, old mother she said where Odur is). It speaks volumes about how deeply rooted Ironwood is within our collective consciousness. Closer to home in Stratham, NH lies another variant called Carpinus caroliniana or simply Stratham NH Ironwood Tree. During fall season along Sandy Point Trail, these trees shed their leaves creating a mesmerizing carpet of vibrant colors (Picture No. 10909309).
