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 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.
