Zelkova × Verschaffeltii
''Zelkova'' × ''verschaffeltii'' (Dippel) G.Nicholson (cut-leaf zelkova) is a zelkova cultivar of hybrid origin. It was originally described in 1892 by Leopold Dippel from a cultivated plant as ''Zelkova japonica'' var. ''verschaffeltii'', suggesting an eastern Asian origin. In 1896, George Nicholson raised it to species rank as ''Zelkova verschaffeltii'', while its much closer similarity to ''Zelkova carpinifolia'' led Augustine Henry to suggest it might be a hybrid between ''Zelkova carpinifolia'' and ''Zelkova abelicea''.Bean, W. J. (1980). ''Trees and Shrubs Hardy in the British Isles'' 8th ed., vol. 4. John Murray . More recent authors most widely regarded it as a cultivar, either not ascribed to any ''Zelkova'' species in particular, or placed under ''Z. carpinifolia'' with no suggestion of hybrid origin.Czerepanov, S. (1957). Revisio specierum generum Zelkova Spach et Hemiptelea Planchon. ''Bot. Material'' 18: 58-72. Analysis of flavonoids has subsequently suggested that ...
