The variety mod common in Scotland is the 

 Broad-leav'd Wych-elm, which is certainly a na- 

 tive. 



It grows to a large fize, and is widely branched, 

 not tapering, like the common EngliJJj Elm. 

 The bark of the young branches is fmooth, 

 and very tough, but that of the old trees is 

 rough, and full of chafms. The leaves are 

 rough, about three inches long, and two 

 broad, doubly ferrated on the margin, their 

 bafr unequal. 



A dccodion of the inner bark of this tree, is re- 

 pi^ted to be an excellent antifcorbutic. The 

 Highlanders make good ropes of the fame. 



Cattle, fwine, and variety of infcds are fond of 

 the leaves. 



The tim.ber is hard and tough, and is ufed to 

 make axles, fcrews for preffes, nave-flocks for 

 v.heels, and boards for numberlefs ufes.
