The Wych Elm cultivar Ulmus glabra 'Rugosa' was identified by Loudon in Arb. Frut. Brit. 3: 1898 as Ulmus montana (: glabra) var. rugosa Masters; another cultivar of the same name was earlier listed in Audibert's (Tonelle, Tarascon, France) catalogue of 1817 but without description.
Description
Loudon described the tree as having "dark, reddish-brown bark, cracking into short, regular pieces, very like Acer campestre; a tree of spreading growth and moderate size." It was later described by Hartwig & Rümpler as having somewhat folded leaves, and being pyramidal, thick and bushy.[1]
Cultivation
Only one specimen is known to survive, at Brighton, UK. 'Rugosa' is not known to have been introduced to North America or Australasia.
