Ulmus  scabra  Mill.  (=  montana  Stokes).  Sellack, 
Herefordsh.,  v.c.  36,  May  10  and  Aug.  14,  1909.  For  the 
nomenclature  of  this  and  other  elms  sent,  see  Jl.  Bot. 
1910,  p.  65.  This  variety  of  the  Wych  Elm  is  notable  for 
the  samara  being  narrowed  more  than  usual  to  the  obtuse 
apex.  I  know  no  varietal  name. — A.  Ley. 
U.  glabra  Huds.,  var.  major  Sm.  (1)  Roadside  trees 
1}  miles  from  Monmouth  on  the  Rockfields  road,  Mon- 
mouthsh.,  v.c.  35,  May  10  and  Aug.  26,  1909.  Occurring 
at  irregular  intervals  in  the  hedgerows :  no  evidence 
whether  spontaneous  or  not. — A.  Ley.  (See  also  Rept. 
B.E.C.  1909,  p.  471).  (2)  Near  Ross,  Herefordsh.,  v.c.  36. 
A  single  planted  ?  tree.  May  and  July,  1909. — A.  Ley. 
U.  surculosa  Stokes.  (1)  Hedge,  Upton  Bishop, 
Herefordsh.,  v.c.  36,  Oct.  17,  1909.  Sent  to  illustrate  the 
occasional  suberosity  of  the  suckers  and  small  twigs  at 
the  base  of  the  bole:  the  rest  of  the  tree  being  non- 
suberous.  As  a  rule  this  tree  exhibits  no  suberosity  on 
any  part  (in  this  differing  from  U.  major  Sm.,  which  is 
always,  I  believe,  suberous  on  the  suckers  and  small  bole- 
twigs)  :  and  when  it  does  occur  it  is  produced  very  unevenly. 
— A.  Ley.  (2)  Trees  (planted)  near  Ross,  Herefordsh., 
May  21  and  July  28,  1909.  This  is  the  “English  Elm;” 
samaras  this  year  larger  as  well  as  more  numerous  than 
usual.— A.  Ley.  (See  also  Rept.  B.E.C.,  1909,  p.  470-471). 
U.  surculosa  Stokes  (fide  A.  Ley).  A  row  of  trees  in 
The  Close,  Salisbury,  extending  from  near  the  North  gate 
to  the  West  front  of  the  Cathedral,  May  13  and  Aug.  11, 
1909;  gathered  for  me  by  Mr.  E.  J.  Tatum.  This  is  not 
the  same  as  U.  campestris  L.  proper,  nor  is  U.  surculosa 
a  synonym  as  in  L.C.  ed.  x.,  rather  a  sub-species — see 
Rev.  A.  Ley’s  paper  in  Jl.  Bot.,  1910,  p.  65. — E.  F.  Linton. 
U.  glabra  (Mill.)  (1)  A  frequent  tree  in  The  Close, 
Salisbury,  Wilts.,  where  it  is  distinguished  from  all  other 
elms  by  its  graceful  habit ;  May  10  and  Aug.  13,  1909. 
Fruit  and  leaves  were  not  gathered  from  the  same  trees. 
Sent  me  at  my  request  by  Mr.  E.  J.  Tatum. — E.  F.  Linton. 
Correct. — A.L.  (2)  Planted  trees  on  the  Ledbury  road 
near  Ross,  Herefordsh.,  May  7  and  July  28,  1909.  Never 
(in  my  experience)  found  native,  or  even  spontaneous  in 
Herefordshire. — A.  Ley.  (See  also  Rept.  B.E.C.,  1909,  p. 
472).
