 First record: Petiver, 1695. This has a greater appearance of nativity 

 than U. suberosa, yet it must be allowed to have been planted in most 

 of its localities. It is very conspicuous in May, when the large leafy 

 samarae are nearly ripe, and give to the tree an appearance of developed 

 foliage. Loudon mentions a fine tree at Muswell Hill, 85 ft. high, and 

 with a trunk 3 ft. in diameter {Arb. et Frut. 1403) ; it is usually small. 



; IJ. major, Sm., Butch Elm (E. B. 2542), is probably to be referred to 

 this species, as is done by Mr. Syme. In the neighbourhood of London, 

 E. Forster; E. Fl. ii. 22. Miller says that this tree was brought from 

 Holland in King William's reign, and Loudon mentions (p. 1396) that 

 the elms in the old part of Kensington Gardens, near the palace, many 

 of which are more than 70 ft. high, are of this kind.

t This genus containe many species which, thotjgh Included in our Floras, have but 

 slight claims to he cons^idered as native, or even really naturalised plants. This is the 

 case with many other trees and shrubs, and we cannot be sure that the localities here 

 given are natural ones.
