Ulmus laevis var. celtidea
Template:Short description Template:Infraspeciesbox
Ulmus laevis var. celtidea Rogow. [: like Celtis, the leaves] is a putative variety of European White Elm first described by Rogowicz,[1] who found the tree in 1856 along the river Dnjepr[2] near Chernihiv in what is now northern Ukraine. The type specimen is held at the National Herbarium of Ukraine.[3] The variety was first named as Ulmus pedunculata var. celtidea.[2] Litvinov (1908) considered it a species, calling it Ulmus celtidea Litv., a view not upheld by other authorities.[4]
Similar trees were later found near Briansk in Oryol Oblast, but featured larger leaves.[5]
Description
The leaves are oblong-lanceolate, but only about Script error: No such module "convert". in length, long-acuminate at the apex, and coarsely, sharply serrate, cuneate and sub-equal at the base. The samarae were also notably smaller than the species.[6] A 1906 herbarium specimen (leaves and fruit) in the Berlin Botanical Museum labelled U. celtidea Litv., from Orel province, Russia, has, however, leaves to 2 or 3 inches.[7]
Cultivation
One specimen which grew at the Strona Arboretum, University of Life Sciences, Warsaw, Poland, (as Ulmus celtidea Litv.) died circa 2006. The tree was grown from seed collected from a tree at the Arboretum of the Forest-Technical Academy in St. Petersburg in 1961; it is not known whether this source is still alive. No cultivars or hybrid cultivars are known.
