In natural plantations of common hazel in the North-West Caucasus, the most common leaves are oval and obovate, having weak degree of dissection, pointed apex, heart-shaped base, smooth or rough surface, light green or green; more rare are elliptic, ovoid, obovate and oblong, undifferentiated, with a rounded base, red or golden-yellow shades. On the basis of the law of parallelism, a prediction is made about the presence of forms with established morphological features of leaves, and in the field, rare individuals with leaves of golden-yellow and red tint are identified.
