The '''Chestnut-leafed''', or '''Multinerved, Elm ''Ulmus castaneifolia''''' <small>Hemsley</small> is a small [[deciduous]] tree found across much of [[China]] in broadleaved forests at elevations of between 500 m and 1600 m. [[Image:Castaneafolia leaves.jpg|thumb|left|140px]] The tree can reach a height of 20 m with a trunk of about 0.5 m [[diameter at breast height|d.b.h]]. The bark is thick with a pronounced corky layer, and is longitudinally fissured. The branchlets are devoid of the corky wings common to many elms. The leaves are generally narrow, ranging from [[leaf shape|obovate]] to [[leaf shape|elliptic]], < 15 cm long, and densely hirsute when young. The [[perfect flower|perfect]] wind-pollinated [[apetalous]] flowers are produced on second-year shoots in February; the [[Samara (fruit)|samarae]] are mostly obovate < 30 mm × 16 mm. <ref name=Fu>Fu, L., Xin, Y. & Whittemore, A.
