Crispa (elm Cultivar)
The elm cultivar ''Ulmus'' 'Crispa' 'curled', the leaf margin sometimes known as the Fernleaf Elm, arose before 1800 and was first listed by Willdenow as ''U. crispa'' (1809). Audibert listed an ''U. campestris'' Linn. 'Crispa', ''orme à feuilles crépues'' 'frizzy-leaved elm' in 1817, and an ''Ulmus urticaefolia'' 'nettle-leaved elm'in 1832; the latter is usually taken to be a synonym. Loudon considered the tree a variety of ''U. montana'' (1838). In the 19th century, '' Ulmus × hollandica'' cultivars, as well as those of Wych Elm, were often grouped under ''Ulmus montana''. Elwes and Henry (1913) listed 'Crispa' as a form of wych elm, but made no mention of the non-wych samara (see 'Description'). Hanham (1857) noted that in his day concave-leaved Field Elm, ''U. campestris concavaefolia'', was frequently mistaken for and sold as 'Crispa' in nurseries, "though there is a wide difference between them".Hanham, F. (1857)''A Manual for the Park''(Royal Victoria Park, Bath). ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Crispa (clothing Brand)
Crispa is a Philippine brand of shirts. Background Crispa was established in 1948 as a textile store by the spouses Pablo Floro and Crisanta Lorenzo. The name is a portmanteau of the couple's first names and was later also used for the Floros' clothing and cement businesses. The Floros expanded into textile and shirt manufacturing during the 1950s. The brand gained a good reputation by the 1970s with its line of T-shirts, coinciding with the success of its fabled basketball team, the Crispa Redmanizers. The basketball team was established in 1956 by Valeriano "Danny" Floro, one of the sons of the Floro couple. The original Crispa shirts and underwear were made purely from cotton and underwent a mechanical process called Redmanization to make the cloth dimensionally stable and more resilient to unwanted shrinking after washing. Crispa's garment and textile products were marketed as "Redmanized", "shrunk-to-fit". Crispa would discontinue its manufacturing and retail businesses, ...
