From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Smooth-leaved Elm Ulmus minor subsp. minor cultivar 'Laciniata' was listed by Wesmael [2] in Bull. Fed. Soc. Hort. Belg. 1862: 390 1863 as Ulmus campestris var. nuda subvar. microphylla laciniata Hort. Vilv.. Described as having laciniate leaves 3 cm to 5 cm long [1] , it is unlikely the tree remains in cultivation. A specimen at the Ryston Hall [3], Norfolk, arboretum, obtained from the Späth nursery in Berlin before 1914 [2], was killed by the earlier strain of Dutch elm disease prevalent in the 1930s.
