Oh my, if only Meconopsis punicea seedlings came up like these.  Three inch diameter pots and these up overnight, photos from this morning.  Now you must identify these lusty little fellows!

Looks like Fagus (sylvatica)?

Sorry, not a Fagus or a Nothofagus for that matter.

I have never seen Sinocalycanthus seedlings but I was also thinking of Styrax which I have seen once.

Is that two answers? If so you are half right.  In this case I will have to declare it a tie between Lisa and Trond  - Sinocalycanthus it is.

Ooops again, I see Sinocalycanthus is now Calycanthus so the trophy goes to Growild!
