OR:

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', 'Vegeta', 'Lutescens', 'Canadensis', and 'Nana').
