The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Hunnybunii' was originally identified as U. nitens var.

[2] 'Hunnybunii' was reputed to have been commonly planted in the parklands and hedgerows of Essex, Cambridgeshire, and Huntingdonshire before the advent of Dutch elm disease.

[6][2] Moss described 'Hunnybunii' as a taller tree than 'Sowerbyi', with the lower branches spreading at right angles, the upper less tortuous; leaves even more asymmetrical at the base, more acuminate at the apex.

[2] Late 19th and early 20th century photographs of the St John's New Building lawn show elms matching the 'Hunnybunii' description.

Three surviving elms (2021), however, beside Dean Road, Bartlow, near the Cambridgeshire-Essex border, resemble var.
