Groenewegen identified the tree in his catalogue of 1921-22 as U. campestris Biltii, having a compact, pyramidal crown, not unlike the Cornish Elm, with crowded, dark green and nearly round leaves. The tips of the younger shoots tinged purplish-bronze, contrasting with the yellowish-green emergent leaves [1].
Probably extinct.
