Ulmus glabra 'Latifolia Aurea'
SpeciesUlmus glabra
Cultivar'Latifolia Aurea'
OriginEurope

The Wych Elm cultivar Ulmus glabra 'Latifolia Aurea' was listed by Schelle in Beissner et al, Handbuch der Laubholz-Benennung (1903), as Ulmus glabra Miller latifolia aurea, but without description.[1][2] In the Netherlands in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, however, Ulmus montana latifolia aurea was a synonym of the wych cultivar 'Lutescens',[3] and Green reclassified Schelle's 'Latifolia aurea' as a form of U. glabra Hudson.

Description

[edit]

Not available, but the name suggests a broad leaf with a yellow coloration.

Cultivation

[edit]

No specimens labelled 'Latifolia Aurea' are known to survive, though 'Lutescens' remains in cultivation.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
