ULMACEAE. — CELTIS 265 
J, E. T. Aitchison, 1879, “ Kurrum valley ” (No. 403), which is the same as Ulmus 
sp. Aitchison in Jour. Linn. Soc. XVIII. 93 (Fl. Kuram Valley) (1880), and “ Hari- 
rud valley," June 5, 1885 (No. 1112), which is the type of U. montana Aitchison in 
Trans. Linn. Soc. ser. 2, III. 108 (non Withering) (1888). In both specimens the 
young branchlets are hirsute, becoming more or less glabrous and of a yellowish 
brown or a very pale color. The shape of the leaves, which are more or less rough on 
both sides, vary from ovate-elliptic with a very unequal base to obovate with an 
almost symmetrical base. In No. 1112 the leaves are up to 10 cm. long and 5-6 em. 
broad, with a very coarse compound serration, while in No. 403 the leaves are 
6-8.5 em. long and 3-4 cm. broad, with a little sharper serration. No. 711 is said 
by Aitchison to be “a more common, but smaller tree than 677,” which number 
I referred to U. Brandisiana Schneider, see p. 253, while No. 1112 is “ a cultivated 
tree, 30 feet high and 9 feet in circumference.” As far as I can judge by this material 
it might represent a new species the taxonomic position of which remains uncertain 
as long as the fruits are unknown.
