1. ULMUS, Linn. 
Deciduous trees. Leaves alternate, distichous, serrate, penninerved ; 
stipules lateral, scarious. Flowers fascicled at the leaf-scars of annotinous 
shoots. Perianth campanulate, 4—8-lobed, imbricate. Stamens 4-8, erect 
in bud. Ovary compressed ; style short 2-fid or 2-partite, branches stigma- 
tose within to the base; ovule pendulous. Fruit dry flat, nucleus expande 
into an orbicular obcordate or obovate reticulate wing. Seed flat, exal- 
buminous; embryo straight, cotyledons flat, equal, radicle small superior. 
—Species about 16, natives of N. temperate regions. 
The Western Himalayan small-leaved elm, referred to by Brandis as probably the 
European U. campestris, and which he describes as a small shrub along river-beds, 
and a middle-sized tree where planted by villages, is, I suspect, only U. JF. allichiana. 
This latter tree is very closely allied to U. campestris ; its leaves vary as greatly as 
do those of campestris and take similar forms. U. erosa, Roth Nov. Sp. 183; 
Planch. in DC. Prodr. xvii. 163, a plant of Heyne's,is not an Udmus, and 18 
indeterminable. 
L U. Wallichiana, Planch. in Ann. Sc. Nat. Ser. 9, x. (1848) 277, 
and in DC. Prodr. xvii. 158; branchlets tomentose, leaves 4-8 in. obliquely 
elliptic acuminate or subobovate and cuspidate doubly or trebly serrate 
scabrous or smooth above pubescent or tomentose beneath, nerves 15 
pairs, perianth 5—6-fid, samara orbicular-obovate, stipes very slender excee A

WESTERN HIMALAYA; from Nepal to Kashmir, alt. 3500—10,000 ft. - 
A tree attaining 90 ft., with a trunk 24 in girth; bark very rough, exfoliating 
in diamond-shaped flakes; branches suberect, roughly pubescent or tomentose. Leaves 
usually narrowed at the very unequal base, which is cordate or round on one side acute 
on the other; nerves strong, pubescent beneath. Flowers in short dense many- & 
racemes ; rachis 1 in. or less, pubescent ; pedicels 4 in., pubescent below the Jom 
Perianth turbinate, glabrous, persistent ; lobes ciliate. Stamens 5-6. Samara iu 
long, glabrous or disk puberulous, sometimes obcordate, wings reticulate ; stipes 
very slender, longer than the calyx.—4As in the European U. campestris, the leaves 
on shoots differ greatly from those on the older branches, being larger, more coarsely 
doubly or trebly serrate, and more scabrous above. 
2. U. lancifolia, Ror). Fl. Ind. ii. 66; subdeciduous, leaves 1-9 1” 
obliquely lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate obtusely acuminate crenulat 
shining, nerves 15-20 pair, perianth 5-cleft, samara obliquely obovate, or 
cular or obcordate stipitate, seed in the middle. Wall. Pl. As. Rar. 1L ©.»
