Ulmus 'Betulaefolia Nigrescens'
The elm cultivar ''Ulmus'' 'Betulaefolia Nigrescens', the Black Birch-leaved Elm, reportedly a seedling of a purplish-leaved elm, was first described by Pynaert in 1879 as ''U. campestris betulaefolia nigrescens''. An ''U. campestris betulaefolia nigrescens'' Hort. was distributed by the Späth nursery, Berlin, in the 1890s and early 1900s. Green considered the 1930s' cultivar ''U. nigricans'' (''U.'' 'Nigricans') a synonym of 'Betulaefolia Nigrescens'. The cultivar is not to be confused with Pynaert's ''U. campestris latifolia nigricans'', described in the same 1879 publication (Green's ''U.'' 'Latifolia Nigricans'). Description The tree was said to have dark, birch-shaped leaves. Späth's cultivar was described as having "brownish leaves". No herbarium leaf-specimens of this cultivar are known. Pests and diseases Not known. Cultivation No specimens are known to survive. One tree was planted in 1897 as ''U. campestris betulaefolia nigrescens'', the 'Black Birch-leaved ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ulmus Minor 'Cucullata'
The Field Elm cultivar ''Ulmus minor'' 'Cucullata', the Hooded elm, was listed by Loddiges of Hackney, London, in their catalogue of 1823 as ''Ulmus campestris cucullata'', and later by Loudon in ''Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum'' (1838), as ''U. campestris'' var. ''cucullata''. Hooded-leaved field elm is not to be confused with ''U. campestris'' L. ''cucullata'' (= ''Ulmus montana cucullata'' Hort), the curled-leaved wych elm cultivar 'Concavaefolia'. Description Loudon described ''Ulmus campestris'' var. ''cucullata'' as having "leaves curiously curved, something like a hood". He thought the tree resembled an undescribed cultivar he called var. ''concavaefolia''. This brief description was dismissed by Elwes and Henry (1913) as "insufficient" for distinguishing concave- and hooded-leaved elms. They ignored Loudon's var. ''cucullata'' and expressed the view that his var. ''concavaefolia'' was identical to the cultivar 'Webbiana'. Pests and diseases See under field ...

Cultivar
A cultivar is a type of cultivated plant that people have selected for desired traits and when propagated retain those traits. Methods used to propagate cultivars include: division, root and stem cuttings, offsets, grafting, tissue culture, or carefully controlled seed production. Most cultivars arise from purposeful human manipulation, but some originate from wild plants that have distinctive characteristics. Cultivar names are chosen according to rules of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP), and not all cultivated plants qualify as cultivars. Horticulturists generally believe the word ''cultivar''''Cultivar'' () has two meanings, as explained in ''Formal definition'': it is a classification category and a taxonomic unit within the category. When referring to a taxon, the word does not apply to an individual plant but to all plants that share the unique characteristics that define the cultivar. was coined as a term meaning "cultivated variety ...

Dominion Arboretum
The Dominion Arboretum (french: Arboretum du Dominion) is an arboretum part of the Central Experimental Farm of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Originally begun in 1889, the Arboretum covers about of rolling land between Prince of Wales Drive, Dow's Lake and the Rideau Canal. Carleton University is located at the opposite side of the Canal. At a latitude of 45°, it can experience extremely hot and humid summers and extremely cold winters. It displays a wide range of well-established trees and shrubs with the intention of evaluating their hardiness, including 1,700 different species and varieties. The arboretum is open from dawn to dusk and the admission is free. Although the climate of the Ottawa area is Zone 5a, the topography of the Arboretum produces a microclimate and is warmer by one zone. This has allowed for a collection of magnolias, azaleas, and several other fringe trees including Metasequoia and Liriodendron. One of the favourit ...

Ulmus Glabra 'Latifolia Nigricans'
The putative Wych Elm cultivar ''Ulmus glabra'' 'Latifolia Nigricans' was first described, as ''Ulmus campestris latifolia nigricans'', by Pynaert in 1879. Pynaert, however, did not specify what species he meant by ''U. campestris''. The tree was supplied by the Späth nursery of Berlin in the late 19th century and early 20th as ''Ulmus montana latifolia nigricans''. Späth, like many of his contemporaries, used ''U. montana'' both for Wych Elm cultivars and for those of the ''U.'' × ''hollandica'' group. Description Pynaert described the tree as "very vigorous, the leaves being large and of a dark tint". Cultivation No specimens are known to survive. One tree, probably supplied by the Späth nursery of Berlin, was planted as ''Ulmus montana latifolia nigricans'' in 1896 at the Dominion Arboretum, Ottawa, Canada. Three specimens supplied by Späth to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 1902 as ''Ulmus montana latifolia nigricans'' may survive in Edinburgh as it was the pra ...
