Ulmus 'Nigrescens'

The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Nigrescens' was identified by Pynaert [1] as Ulmus campestris betulaefolia nigrescens.

Considered by Green [1] to be "probably Ulmus carpinifolia (: minor), but said to have been raised from seed of Purpurea".

The tree was described as having leaves like those of the Birch, and with a darker and more persistent hue than the Wych Elm cultivar 'Purpurea'.

No specimens are known to survive.

(americana) nigricans, name in synonymy for U. americana f. nigrescens, not U. campestris betulifoliae nigrescens Pynaert.
