Ulmus stricta Lindley (Fruits). Polperro, East Cornwall, 
April 1929. The Cornish Elm (U. stricta) usually flowers 
freely but produces very little fruit. This year however 
the trees fruited abundantly. The fruits sent were collected 
after they had fallen from the trees. F. Rilstone. The 
fruits are better than I have been able to get in Surrey. —

Correctly named. The pedicels are rather short. The 
base of the ovary is broad, and the apex ends rather abruptly

younger ones, but they get glabrous by August or September. 
The serratures are intermediate between the parents. — J.

bloom till February or March. The special feature of the 
group to which it belongs is the white covering of wax on 
the bark, as if frosted. — J. Fraser.
