In hedges, a doubtful native. 



In the neighbourhood of London. Mr. E. Forster. 



Tree. March. 



The branches spread widely, in a drooping manner, and their bark 

 is rugged, much more corky than even the foregoing. Leaves 

 on short thick stalks, larger, and more bluntly serrated, than the 

 last ; rough on both sides, especially beneath, but the hairy 

 tufts, at the origin of each transverse rib, are very small. Seg- 

 ments of the cahjx short and rounded. Stam. 4. Capsule ob- 

 ovate, with a very small rounded sinus, not reaching half so far 

 as the seed. 



Miller says this Elm was brought from Holland in King William's 

 reign, and being recommended for its quick growth, was a 

 fashionable tree for hedges in gardens, but afterwards fell into 

 disuse. He adds that " the wood is good for nothing, so it is 

 almost banished this country." 



4. U. montana. Broad-leaved Elm. Wych Hasel. 



Leaves pointed, rough, doubly serrated. Flowers stalked, 

 loosely tufted, five- or six-cleft. Capsule somewhat orbi- 

 cular, slightly cloven, naked. Branches drooping ; their 

 bark even.

In woods and hedges, frequent. The most common Elm in Scot- 

 land, according to Lightfoot. 



Tree. March, April. 



A large spreading tree, of quicker growth than U. campestris, and 

 the wood is consequently far inferior in hardness and compact- 

 ness, more liable to split. The branches are, in some individuals, 

 quite pendulous, like the Weeping Willow. Their bark is even ; 

 downy in a young state. Leaves larger than any of the forego- 

 ing, broadly elliptical, with a longer, copiously serrated, point j 

 rough on the upper surface with minute, callous, bristly tuber- 

 cles, but less harsh than most of the preceding ; the under sur- 

 face downy and paler, with straight, parallel^ transverse ribs^ co-
