tree, not liable as that to sudden breakage of the limbs. 
U. @ is a polymorphous group of forms, which ma 
perhaps be rightly treated as a single species, being identical 
in samara characters and possessing a great general likeness

Samara as in the type. Leaves of the tree usually or always 
smooth as well as epilose above and below, except at the axils, 
small; those of the suckers and seedlings usually or always 
scabrous above, often very small; twigs bearing re, 
tichous leaves. Height in exposed situations 30 to 40 ft.; where 
sheltered, rising at times to 70 or 80 ft. . 
Very abundant, and apparently native in West Cornwall ; 
becoming less abundant in East Cornwall and West Devon. 
Abundant in Brittany.

are later in coming out in spring than those, but continue longer 
in autumn. This has been called by some the Irish Elm.”
