Ulmus kunmingensis W.C.Cheng[1] |
Ulmus changii var. kunmingensis W. C. Cheng[2], occasionally referred to as the Kunming Elm, is distinguished by "branchlets occasionally with swelling and irregularly longitudinally fissured corky layers. Leaf blade abaxially with tufted hairs in the axil of the veins. Flowers on mixed buds, scattered in basal or sub-basal bract axils of young branches. Fl. and fr. same as for autonym variety but slightly earlier in season" [2] [3]. The tree is endemic to montane forests at elevations of between 600 m and 1800 m in the provinces of Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Yunnan; it is not known to be in cultivation beyond China.
