THK ELM TRIBE. 



Trees or shrubs, by Lindl. referred to 6 genera. Of these Spreng. syst. 

 assigns 9 species to S. America, Mexico and the W. Indies ; 9 to N. Ame- 

 rica ; 5 to Europe ; 2 to Caucasus ; 1 to Dahuria ; 1 to Siberia ; and 1 to 

 Senegambia. In the E. Indies have been discovered according to Spreng. 

 Wall. Cat. and Royl. ill. 5 species of Ulmus ; (Nepal, Kemaon. Kunawur, 

 Hurdwar, Chittagong,) and 13 of Celtis ; (Nepal, Khassia Mountains, 

 Circars, Penang, Singapore,) How many of the latter must be referred 

 to Sponia, we have no means to ascertain. 



The Elms are well known in Europe as good timber-trees. The same 

 may be said of those found in India and its mountains. {Royle.)
