REPORT FOR 1912. 



285 



pasture, with several trees of U. glabra, Mill. (U. nitens, Moench). 

 The first tree of this species that I have met with in Surrey. Detected 

 too late in the season to secure fruiting examples. — C. E. Britton. 

 " This is a peculiar elm, possibly one of the numerous hybrids. It 

 resembles, in shape of leaves, Goodyer's elm (the latter considered 

 to be U. minor, Miller, and which Dr. Moss calls U. sativa ), but has 

 much more pubescent twigs, and differs in the axil tufts of the leaves, 

 &c. It may be possibly named U. minor, var." — A. Henry. " Appar- 

 ently correct." — A. B. Jackson. " I differ from Dr Moss in calling 

 this elm U. sativa, Mill." — G. C. Druce. 



Ulmus stricta, Lindley {Ulmus Wlteatleyi, Hort.). [Ref. No. 4771.] 

 Near Thornborough, Bucks, July 1912. — G. C. Druce. Ulmus 

 nite7is, Moench, var. Wheatleyi. This is the Wheatley elm of nur- 

 series, very close to but distinct in habit and leaves from the true 

 Cornish elm (U. nitens, var. stricta). It is a pyramidal tree, very 

 regular in form. It is possibly, but not certainly, the same as Ulmus 

 sarniensis, Loddiges. It is occasionally called the Jersey or Guernsey 

 elm." — A. Henry. " T have a plant similar to this in my herbarium, 

 which Mr Augustine Henry calls a French form of U. 7iitens, Moench 

 (U. (jlahra, Miller). It is apparently what is known as U. campestris 

 in France and elsewhere on the Continent, where our English elm is 

 unknown." — A. B. Jackson. 



Ulmus sativa, Miller { = U. glabra. Miller, var. minor. Miller, of 



A. Ley). [Ref. No. U 4.] A row of trees planted in Pencisely Road, 

 Llandaff, v.-c. 41, Aug. 22, 1912. I think rightly named. A probably 

 native specimen was found high up in the hills of Glamorganshire. 

 (See Report 1911, p. 121.) — H. J. Riddelsdell. " Ulmus nitens, 

 Moench, var. stricta = U. stricta, Lindley. The Cornish elm, identical 

 with the wild tree in Cornwall." — A. Henry. 



Ulmus vegeta. Ley, = U. glabra. Miller x montana. Stokes. Two 

 trees by roadside near Shepperton, Surrey, v.-c. 17, May 5, 1912. — A. 



B. Jackson and J. Eraser. " At first thought to be a form of the 

 Huntingdon elm and distributed under that name but I think only a 

 form of the Wych Elm."— A. B. Jackson. 



Urtica dioica, L., var. angustifolia, Ledeb. North Stoke, Oxon, 

 Sep. 1912. Growing with but keeping distinct from the tjrpe, than 

 which it was less ' pungent ' as I gathered these without being stung. 

 — G. C. Druce. 



Betula tomentosa, Reith. and Abel. Seedlings. Millwood, Dalton- 

 in Furness, v.-c. 69, Sep. 30, 1912. I am not sure about this deter- 

 mination. — D. LuMB. B. pubescens, Ehrh." — E. S. Marshall.
