Ulmus 'Planeroides'

The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Planeroides' [:Planera-like elm] was described by Carrière in the Revue horticole, 1875.

[1] It was considered "possibly Ulmus carpinifolia" [:U. minor ] by Green.

[2] Not to be confused with Späth's U. montana viminalis which, though "also distributed under the name Planera aquatica",[3] has osier-like leaves, Planera being the old name for Zelkova, a close relative of elm with willow-like leaves.

[4] The tree was described as having leaves like Planera aquatica.

A pruned elm with Planera-like leaves, possibly the cultivar 'Planeroides', stands in Stanford Avenue, Brighton.
