LXVI. ULMA‘CEH: CE’LTIS. 729 
Spec. Char.,§c. Leaves, when adult, ovate, acute, unequal at the base, crenately 
serrate, roughish on the upper surface ; when young, subcordate at the base. 
Fruit yellow, becoming brown. A low tree, or large shrub, Armenia. 
Height 10 ft. to 12 ft. Introd. in 1739. Leaves bluntish, rough on both sur- 
faces, glossy. Flowering and fruiting at the same time as C. australis. 
This species is readily known from all others, in winter, by its forming a 
compact upright-branched bush, or low tree; and, in summer, by the deep 
green and dense mass of its rigid-looking foliage. It is rather more tender 
than C. australis and C. occidentalis. When propagated by seeds, they should 
be sown in autumn, as soon as they are ripe; as, if not sown till spring, they 
generally remain a year or more in the ground. They prefer a moist soil, and 
a sheltered situation.
