The elm cultivar ''Ulmus'' 'Nemoralis' was listed by
Schelle in
Beissner et al. (1903), as ''U. campestris'' f. ''nemoralis''
Hort. Considered "possibly ''U. carpinifolia (: minor)''" by Green.
A
sessile-flowering ''Ulmus nemoralis'' "from North America" was described by
Dumont de Courset in ''Le botaniste cultivateur'' (1811),
and another, "des bois d'amérique", in the 1831-1832 catalogue of the
Audibert brothers' nursery at Tonelle, near
Tarascon in France.
A Paris herbarium specimen of the latter from the 1830s does not appear to show an American species. European elm cultivars were sometimes referred to by nurseries as "American", probably for marketing reasons (other examples are
'Scampstoniensis',
,
'Lutescens',
, and
'Nana').
Description
Courset's ''U. nemoralis'' had oblong, almost smooth, regularly toothed leaves, and sessile flowers.
