Ulmus Minor 'Hunnybunii'
The Field Elm cultivar ''Ulmus minor'' 'Hunnybunii' was originally identified as ''U. nitens'' var. ''Hunnybunii'' Moss by Moss in ''The Cambridge British Flora'' (1914). 'Hunnybunii' was reputed to have been commonly planted in the parklands and hedgerows of Essex, Cambridgeshire, and Huntingdonshire before the advent of Dutch elm disease. Melville considered the tree a hybrid of ' Coritana'. The tree was named for C. E. Moss's collaborator, the botanical artist E. W. Hunnybun. Description Moss described 'Hunnybunii' as a taller tree than 'Sowerbyi', with the lower branches spreading at right angles, the upper less tortuous; leaves even more asymmetrical at the base, more acuminate at the apex.Lynch, R I. (1915). Trees of the Cambridge Botanic Garden, in ''Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society'' (Ed.: Chittenden), Vol. 41, part 1, p. 17, 1915. Samara and leaf drawings by E. W. Hunnybun appear in ''The Cambridge British Flora'' (1914). File:Ulmus nitens var. hunnybun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ulmus Minor
''Ulmus minor'' Mill., the field elm, is by far the most polymorphic of the European species, although its taxonomy remains a matter of contention. Its natural range is predominantly south European, extending to Asia Minor and Iran; its northern outposts are the Baltic islands of Öland and Gotland, although it may have been introduced by humans. The tree's typical habitat is low-lying forest along the main rivers, growing in association with oak and ash, where it tolerates summer floods as well as droughts.Heybroek, H. M., Goudzwaard, L, Kaljee, H. (2009). ''Iep of olm, karakterboom van de Lage Landen'' (:Elm, a tree with character of the Low Countries). KNNV, Uitgeverij. Current treatment of the species owes much to Richens, who noted (1983) that several varieties of field elm are distinguishable on the European mainland. Of these, he listed the small-leaved ''U. minor'' of France and Spain; the narrow-leaved ''U. minor'' of northern and central Italy; the densely hairy leaved ...

Samara (fruit)
A samara (, ) is a winged achene, a type of fruit in which a flattened wing of fibrous, papery tissue develops from the ovary wall. A samara is a simple dry fruit, and is indehiscent (not opening along a seam). The shape of a samara enables the wind to carry the seed farther away from the tree than regular seeds would go, and is thus a form of anemochory. In some cases the seed is in the centre of the wing, as in the elms (genus ''Ulmus''), the hoptree (''Ptelea trifoliata''), and the bushwillows (genus ''Combretum''). In other cases the seed is on one side, with the wing extending to the other side, making the seed autorotate as it falls, as in the maples (genus '' Acer'') and ash trees (genus ''Fraxinus''). There are also single-wing samara such as mahogany (genus Swietenia) which have a shape that enables fluttering. Some species that normally produce paired samaras, such as ''Acer pseudoplatanus'', can also produce them in groups of three or four. File:TripleSycamoreS ...

Ulmus Minor 'Hunnybunii Pseudo-Stricta'
The Field Elm cultivar ''Ulmus minor'' 'Hunnybunii pseudo-Stricta' was originally identified as ''U. nitens'' var. ''Hunnybunii pseudo-Stricta'' Moss by Moss in ''The Cambridge British Flora'' (1914). Moss regarded the tree as a "subvariety" of ''U. nitens'' var. 'Hunnybunii', with a narrower form. Description Moss described 'Hunnybunii pseudo-Stricta' as "differing in the shorter internodes of the young twigs, which tend to remain in one plane, giving the trees a striking appearance". Samara and leaf drawings by E. W. Hunnybun, showing a narrower leaf than 'Hunnybunii', appear in ''The Cambridge British Flora'' (1914). File:Ulmus nitens var. hunnybuni subvar. pseudo-stricta (01).jpg, 'Hunnybunii pseudo-Stricta': flowers and fruit Pests and diseases Though susceptible to Dutch Elm Disease, field elms produce suckers and usually survive in this form in their area of origin.

Bartlow
Bartlow is a small village and civil parish in the South Cambridgeshire district of Cambridgeshire, England, about south-east of Cambridge and west of Haverhill in Suffolk. The River Granta runs through the village. History At Bartlow is one of the smallest parishes in Cambridgeshire. Its southern border, which was partially straightened on a few successive occasions to follow the former railway line, divides it from Ashdon parish in Essex. It also has borders with the neighbouring parishes of Castle Camps and Shudy Camps to the east, Horseheath to the north, and Linton to the west. Though the area has been occupied since Roman times, there is no record of Bartlow itself as a village until 1232, largely because the settlement south of the River Granta with its Roman burial mounds was part of Ashdon parish nearby in Essex. Recorded as ''Berkelawe'' in 1232, the name "Bartlow" means "mounds or tumuli where birch trees grow". Bartlow Hills Bartlow is also home to Bartlow Hil ...

Christine Buisman
Christine Johanna Buisman (; 22 March 1900 – 27 March 1936) was a Dutch phytopathologist who dedicated her short career to the research of Dutch elm disease and the selection of resistant elm seedlings. In 1927, Buisman provided the final proof that ''Graphium ulmi'' (later named ''Ophiostoma ulmi'') was the causal agent of the disease, concluding the controversy which had raged among Dutch and German scientists since 1922. Buisman developed the inoculation method for screening large numbers of elm plants for resistance, and in 1932 discovered the generative form of the fungus, ''Ceratostomella ulmi''. The first ever resistant elm clone released in the Netherlands was named for her in 1937, following her untimely death the previous year.Heybroek, H. M. and Nijboer, R. (2013). ''Christine Johanna Buisman in Italy''. p. 4–6. Private publication, Netherlands. Biography Buisman was the eldest of four children raised in a liberal and socially conscious family in Leeuwarden.

Dutch Elm Disease
Dutch elm disease (DED) is caused by a member of the sac fungi (Ascomycota) affecting elm trees, and is spread by elm bark beetles. Although believed to be originally native to Asia, the disease was accidentally introduced into Americas, America, Europe, and New Zealand. In these regions it has devastated native populations of elms that did not have resistance to the disease. The name "Dutch elm disease" refers to its identification in 1921 and later in the Netherlands by Dutch phytopathologists Marie Beatrice Schol-Schwarz, Bea Schwarz and Christine Buisman, who both worked with professor Johanna Westerdijk. The disease affects species in the genera ''Ulmus'' and ''Zelkova''; therefore it is not specific to the Ulmus × hollandica, Dutch elm hybrid. Overview Dutch elm disease (DED) is caused by ascomycete microfungi. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Leaf Shape
The following is a list of terms which are used to describe leaf morphology in the description and taxonomy of plants. Leaves may be simple (a single leaf blade or lamina) or compound (with several leaflets). The edge of the leaf may be regular or irregular, may be smooth or bearing hair, bristles or spines. For more terms describing other aspects of leaves besides their overall morphology see the leaf article. The terms listed here all are supported by technical and professional usage, but they cannot be represented as mandatory or undebatable; readers must use their judgement. Authors often use terms arbitrarily, or coin them to taste, possibly in ignorance of established terms, and it is not always clear whether because of ignorance, or personal preference, or because usages change with time or context, or because of variation between specimens, even specimens from the same plant. For example, whether to call leaves on the same tree "acuminate", "lanceolate", or "linear" could ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
