Ulmus foliacea, Gilib. (U. nitens, Moench. U. glabra, Mill., not Huds. U. campestris var. laevis, Spach. U. campestris var. glabra, Hartig. U. surculosa var. glabra, Stokes). Smooth-leaved Elm. Tree, with straight trunk, wide-spreading branches and usually pendulous branchlets; suckering: bark gray, deeply fissured: young branchlets glabrous or nearly so: buds minutely pubescent: lvs. oval or obovate, acuminate, very unequal at the base, lustrous and smooth above, with white axillary tufts beneath and glandular, sparingly and minutely pubescent at first, doubly serrate, not ciliate, 2-3 1/2 in. long; pairs of veins about 12; petiole 1/4 – 1/2 in. long: fls. 4-5-merous: fr. obovate, cuneate at the base, broad and rounded at the apex; the seed nearly touching the closed notch at the apex. Eu., N. Afr., W. Asia. S.E.B. 8:1286 (as U. suberosa glabra). R.F.G.. 12:664. H.W. 2:37, p. 3 (as U. campestris).—A variable species with several geographical varieties and a number of garden forms. Var. suberosa, Rehd. (U. suberosa, Moench, not Ehrh. U. campestris suberosa, Wahl.). Branches with corky wings. R.F.G. 12:663. Var. propendens, Rehd. (U. glabra propendens, Schneid. U. microphylla pendula, Hort. U. suberosa pendula, Hort.). With pendulous branchlets, and small lvs. about 1 in. long. M.D.G. 1901:166. Var. italica, Rehd. (U. nitens var. italica, Henry). Similar to the typical form, but lvs. more coriaceous, with 14-18 pairs of veins, quite glabrous at maturity except conspicuous axillary tufts beneath; petioles 1/4 in. long. Italy, Spain, Portugal. Var. umbraculifera, Rehd. (U. campestris umbraculifera, Trautv. U. densa, Litwinow). Tree, with dense globose head, otherwise like the type. Persia, Armenia. Gt. 30:1034. M.D.G. 1900:579. M.D. 1910, pp. 72. 73. Var. gracilis, Rehd. (U. campestris umbraculifera gracilis, Spaeth). Similar to the preceding but with a more ovoid, not globose head, and smaller lvs. Var. Koopmannii, Rehd. (U. campestris Koopmannii, Hort. U. Koopmannii, Spaeth). Closely allied to var. umbraculifera, but with a dense oval head: branchlets paler: lvs. ovate, 1 – 1 1/4 in. long. Var. Ruepellii, Rehd. (U. campestris Ruepellii, Spaeth). Similar to var. umbraculifera, but branchlets pubescent and branches slightly corky: lvs. rather small, scabrous above. Var. stricta, Rehd. (U. stricta, Lindl. U. nitens var. stricta, Henry. U. campestris var. cornubiensis, Loud.). Cornish Elm. Narrow pyramidal tree with ascending branches: young branchlets often pubescent at the insertion of the lvs.: buds glabrous: lvs. obovate to oval, somewhat unequal at the base, 2 – 2 1/2 in. long, glabrous and smooth above; petioles 1/3 in. long: fls. usually 4-merous: fr. 2/3 in. long, narrower than in the type. S. W. England. Var. Wheatleyi, Rehd. (U. nitens var. Wheatleyi, Henry. U. campestris Wheatleyi, Simon-Louis. U. sarniensis, Lodd. U. campestris monumentalis, Hort., not Ruiz). Wheatley, Jersey, or Guernsey Elm. Narrow pyramidal tree with ascending branches: lvs. similar to those of the preceding variety, but broader, with less conspicuous axillary tufts and glandular beneath and on the petiole. G.C. III. 41:150. M.D. 1910, p. 273. Var. monumentalis, Rehd. (U. campestris monumentalis, Ruiz). Columnar tree with few upright branches and numerous short branchlets: lvs. crowded, rather short-petioled, dark green and somewhat rough above. Var. Dampieri, Rehd. (U. nitens var. Dampieri, Henry. U. campestris Dampieri, Spaeth). Fastigiate tree, forming a narrow pyramidal head: lvs. crowded on short branchlets, broadly ovate, 2 - 2 1/2 in. long, glabrous. Var. Wredei, Rehd. (U. campestris Dampieri Wredei, Hort. U. Wredei aurea, Hort.). Like the preceding, but lvs. yellowish. M.D.G. 1898:160. Var. pendula, Rehd. (U. nitens var. pendula, Henry). With slender pendulous branches. Var. Webbiana, Rehd. (U. campestris Webbiana, Lee). Pyramidal tree with ascending branches: lvs. folded longitudinally. Var. variegata, Rehd. (U. campestris variegata, Dum.-Cours. U. campestris var. argenteo-variegata, Rehd.). Lvs. variegated with white, smooth above.
