The elm cultivar ''Ulmus'' 'Ramulosa' 'twiggy' Floetbeck elm, was raised in the Floetbeck (or Flottbeck) nurseries, Hamburg, by James Booth & Son (a principal supplier of continental elms to the UK, considered by Loudon the finest nursery in Germany), and was first mentioned by Loudon in ''Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum'' (1838) as ''Ulmus montana glabra'' var. ''ramulosa'' Booth, but without description. It does not, however, appear in Booth's 1838 list.Loudon, J. C., ''Hortus lignosus londinensis: or, A catalogue of all the ligneous plants, indigenous and foreign, hardy and half-hardy, cultivated in the gardens and grounds ... in the principal nurseries of London and Edinburgh, and at Bollwyller in France, and in Hamburg'' (London, 1838), p.170
/ref> Loudon listed the tree in a group including Downton Elm, Scampston Elm, and Ludlow Elm,Loudon, J. C., ''Hortus lignosus londinensis'' (London 1838), p.92-4
/ref> so Green's wych cultivar attribution (''Ulmus glabra'' Huds.) appears to be an error.
