row up suckers ; which convinces us that it is only a variety of that species,

 hieties. In consequence of U. glabra ripening seeds in different parts of 

 (Encfland, many varieties have been raised from it, most of which are distin- 

 guished by great rapidity of growth. It is difficult to determine, in every 

 case, whether the varieties of U. (m.) glabra are not nearer to U. montana, 

 than to that sub-species ; and, in some instances, they appear to partake of 

 I the character of U. canipestris and U. (c.) suberosa, T. A. Knight, Esq., 

 iinfornis us that from seeds of one variety of U. (m.) glabra, viz. the Down- 

 ton elm, which were ripened in the cold climate of that part of Shropshire, 

 lie " raised plants which are so perfectly similar to the U. suberosa, and 

 which approximate so nearly to the character of the U. glabra, that " he 

 I does "not doubt but that the U. campestris, i7. suberosa, 7. glabra, and 

 I three or four other varieties which" he has " seen in different parts of 

 j England, are all varieties only of the same species." 



A. Timber Trees. 



1 U. ().) g. 1 vulgaris. The common smooth-leaved Elm. 

 t U. (.) g. 2 vegeta. U. montana vegeta in the Horticultural Society's 



Garden; L''. americana Masters; the Huntingdon Elm, the Chi- 

 chester Elm, the American Elm in some places, and perhaps the 

 Scampston Elm. This is by far the most vigorous-growing kind of 

 elm propagated in British nurseries, often making shoots from 6 ft. to 

 10 ft. in length in one season ; and the tree attaining the height of 

 upwards of 30 ft. in ten years from the graft. Raised at Huntingdon 

 about 1746, from seed collected in that neighbourhood, by Mr. 

 Wood, nurseryman there. 



2 U. (in.) g. 3 va'r. The Scampston Elm. Variety of U. glabra, and 

 very little different from the preceding kind. 



i U. (?.) g. 4 major. U. glabra major Hurt. Bur. ; the Canterbury Seed- 

 ling. Of more vigorous growth than the s[)ecies, and, indeed, a rival 

 to the Huntingdon elm in quickness of growth. Judging from the 

 specimens of this variety sent to us by Mr. Masters, we should say 

 that it belongs fully as much to U. montana as to U. (m.) glabra. 



1 U. (??(.) g. 5 glanduldsa Lindl. Leaves very glandular beneath. 

 U. (in.) g. 6 latifoUu Lindl. Leaves oblong, acute, very broad. 



2 U. (?K.) g. 1 inicrophylla Hort. U. g. parvifolia.. Leaves small. 

 Horticultural Society's Garden. 



B. Ornamental or cunous Trees. 



'i U. {ni.) g. S pendula. U. campestris pendula Hort. Diir.; the Down- 

 ton Elm. Raised in Smith's Nursery, at Worcester, in ISIO, 

 from seeds obtained from a tree in Nottinghamshire. Mr. Knight 

 of Downton Castle purchased some of these trees , and one them 

 turned out to be that weeping variety which has since obtained the 

 name of the Downton elm. 



i U. (m.) g. 9 varicgdta Hort. Leaves variegated. Hort. Soc. Garden. 



2 U. (?)!.) g. 10 ramulosa Booth. Branches more twiggy than the species.

 Engraving. Our Jig. UOCO. in p. OOUU. 



Spec. Char., Sfc. Bark grey brown ; smooth, not chinky. Leaves with 

 j downy petioles ; and disks oblong, acuminate, 2^ in. long, unequal at the 

 i base, doubly and very argutely serrate ; above, deep green ; beneath, downy, 

 and becoming obviously whitish. (Willd.') A large deciduous tree. Hun- 

 gary; said to have been introduced in 1834, but we are not aware that the 

 plant is in British gardens.
