In woods and hedgerows. Generally distributed, but often planted. 
Certainly wild in the north of England, in Scotland, and the north of 
Treland. 
England, Scotland, Ireland. Tree. Early Spring. 
U. montana resembles U. suberosa, but has fewer suckers or twigs 
produced from the trunk; the branches are longer and more spreading : 
the leaves 3 to 6 inches long, generally much larger; broader in 
proportion, and more acuminate or even cuspidate; the young branches 
generally more downy; the samara is variable in shape, but larger 
than in U. suberosa; but the chief difference is in the position of the 
seed-cavity, which is about the middle of the general outline of the 
wing; the notch in both species is variable in depth, and in each 
extends sometimes nearly down to the seed-cavity. 
U. major, of Smith, the so-called Dutch elm, certainly belongs to 
U. montana, though in the figure in “ English Botany ” the seed in 
the largest samara is placed near the apex of the wing, doubtless 
through the inaccuracy of the draughtsman, who has correctly deline- 
ated the other samare in the fascicle. 
The var. y, nitida, is often confounded with var. glabra of U. 
subcrosa, but it has all the essential characters of the normal U. 
montana. 
Broad-leaved Elm. 
French, Orme de montagne. German, Feld-Ulme. 
This species of elm is sometimes called the Scotch or wych elm. It is of quicker 
growth than the former species, and the wood is consequently far inferior in hardness
