OriginEngland

The possible Field Elm cultivar U. minor 'Planifolia' was listed by Loudon in Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum (1838) as Ulmus campestris (:minor) var. planifolia, the flat-leaved elm.[1] Green opined that the species was uncertain.[2]

Description[]

Loudon described the tree as "a handsome small tree, closely resembling U. campestris var. parvifolia" (i.e. the Chinese Elm Ulmus parvifolia Jacq.). An illustration appeared in volume 7 of Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum (1854).

Cultivation[]

'Planifolia' and 'Cucullata' were the only two of some sixty elms listed by Joseph Paxton in his Botanical Dictionary (1868) without cultivation locations, suggesting it was an uncommon elm.[3] No specimens are known to survive.
