elm as a variety, not as a species. I find that the upper surface 
of the normal leaves of this elm are always smooth, or practically 
so. As in the other glabrous-leaved elms, the sucker-leaves and 
the leaves produced on shoots formed in the height of summer are 
scabrid above. It has not, I think, been pointed out before, that 
immediately after the great fall of elm fruits in 1909, the various 
glabrous-leaved elms produced summer-shoots, that these shoots 
produced leaves which were scabrid above, and that these leaves 
in the autumn dropped from the trees before the normal leaves 
which had appeared in the spring. Many descriptions of the 
smoothness and roughness of elm-leaves are misleading through 
not distinguishing what I have here called sucker-leaves and 
normal leaves. — C. E. Moss. Loudon named it U. glabra, var. 
vegeta, and Miller named his minor as a species (not a var. of 
U. glabra). Tlie latter certainly seems to describe the rank 
given it by Miller. — G. Claridge Druce. Mr. Henry points 
out to me that the name U. vegeta is given by Lindley in 
‘ Hort. Cantab.’ (1823). This, however, is a 7 iomen nudum; and 
Lindley states that it is native in North America. In his ‘ Synopsis ’ 
(1829), Lindley does not use the name vegeta. Perhaps U. glabra. 
Mill., var. latifoHa, Lindley {l.c.), is the Huntingdon elm, or, at all 
events, one form of the hybrid U. glabra. Mill, x montana. — C. E. 
Moss. 
Ulmus scabra. Mill. x. Bishopswood, Herefordshire (or \Vest 
Gloucester), September 8, 1910. This was a single tree, clearly 
spontaneous ; with large drooping branches, and narrow, short- 
petioled, glabrous leaves. Beyond the suggestion of scabra x, I 
can suggest no name. — Augustin Ley. A hybrid of U. glabra, 
Huds. ( = U. scabra, Mill. = U. mojitana, Stokes) with U. glabra. 
Mill. As Hudson’s name appears to be perfectly valid, and 
as it ante-dates Miller’s by six years, another name must be 
found to replace the latter. U. procera, Salisb. ‘ Prodr.’ 391 
(1796)= U. glabra, Mill.; but perhaps there is an earlier name. 
Ulmus vulgaris, Pallas, given in ‘ I. K.’, in Richter and Giirke’s 
‘ Plantae Europaeae,’ and in Rouy ‘FI. Fr. ’ xii. (1910) is a nomen 
nudum. — C. E. Moss. Looks intermediate between U. scabra 
and U. glabra. The foliage is like the Wych Elm in texture, but 
the leaves favour U. glabra in their shape and smoothness. In 
the Br. Mus. Herb, there are specimens approaching this form 
labelled U. montana, var. nitida, Syme. — A. B. Jackson. I take 
it (judging from the short description) that U. motitana, var. 
nitida, Syme, is a hybrid of U. glabra. Mill., and U. montana ; 
but there appears to be no specimen by Syme. — C. E. Moss. I 
failed to find any specimens named nitida in Boswell Syme’s 
herbarium, now in the possession of Mr. F. J. Hanbury. — 
G. Claridge Druce.
