It is, as Professor Henry says, a native, and always reproduced 

 by suckers, B.E.C., 1915, p. 280. Davey says it is common in 

 most parts of the county. Its strict habit and small leaves 

 make it quite easy to identify. ' In Cornwall it usually occurs 

 in hedgerows." Moss, Birtish Elms, Card. Chron., 1912. 



The Elms are easy to collect for the purpose of identification, 



only twigs growing from large branches (not suckers), with 

 well developed leaves, being necessary. They are not easy 

 to identify from written descriptions. A short description of 

 them will be found in Bab. Man., 10th ed., 1922, Appendix 

 II., pp. 591-3.
