I am clearly of opinion that it is a distinct species. Stokes. 

 Flowers on long fruit-stalks. 



The bark will peel from the boughs for many feet without 

 breaking. The boughs spread themselves wider, and hang more 

 down than those of the U. campestris. Leases and seeds much 

 larger. Johnson in Ger. em. Trunk soon dividing into long 

 wide-spreading winged branches ; when at its full growth seldom 

 rises to above one third of the height of the U. campestris* It 

 flowers when even under 30 feet high, while the U. campestris 

 seldom flowers till it has gained a much greater age and height. 

 Branches very brittle. Dr. Stokes.

 It is certainly a native. Lightfoot. In Scotland, and the north 

 of England, it seems more peculiarly to prevail, from the scarcity 

 of the U. campestris, which last Linnaeus notes as growing near 

 the villages of Europe, whereas this species is found in woods 

 and brakes, as well as hedge rows. St. [About Kendal, in
