124 URTICACE^E. 



U. major, Sm. (U. hollandica, Miller). 



Usually called the Dutch Elm, though Professor Henry dissents, 

 as it is not found in Holland. Probably almost as common as 

 the Cornish Elm, and may be native. The few records in the 

 Flora give quite a wrong impression of its prevalence. 



3. Row of trees in hedge, Lorigcoombe valley, Polperro; hill 

 above Pont leading to Bodinnick ferry, 1921, Rilstone. 



5. A tree at Penpoll, Crantock, B.E.C., 1911, p. 121; 1915, p. 

 370. Wheal Francis, Perranzabuloe, Vigurs. 



*Var. Daveyi, Henry. Elwes and Henry, Trees of Great Britain 

 and Ireland, VII., 1884, 1913, as a var. of U. major. 



It is underspreading like the type, has very pendulous branches, 

 and somewhat pubescent twigs, and the epicormic branches 

 never produce corky ridges. The leaves are smaller, 2J/2 in. 

 long, 2in. broad. Rare in Cornwall. 



3. Near Coldrenick, Henry. 



5. Near Perranporth, Henry. I think this is an error for Per- 

 ranwell in district 6. Davey showed me the tree after which 

 Henry named the variety opposite the house "Beech wood." 

 C. C, Vigurs. 



U. campestrJS, Linn (U. sativa, Miller; U. surculosa, Stokes). 



The English Elm. 

 In the Flora it is indicated as common, but many of the trees 



which were thought to be this we now know as U. major, 



Sm. 

 5. A few trees close to Newquay, one being the well known 



arched tree at Tolcarne, named by Dr. Moss. 



*U, glabfa, Miller (U. nitens, Moench). Smooth-leaved Elm. 

 3. By stream below garage, Polperro, 1921, Rilstone. A wide-

 ftestris. Linn. pro. parte, var. cornubiense, Loudon; U. sativa, 

 Miller, var. cornubiense, and many other synonym?). Cornish 

 Elm.
