Ulmus glabra 'Corylifolia'
Species	Ulmus glabra
Cultivar	'Corylifolia'
Origin	Europe

The putative Wych Elm cultivar Ulmus glabra 'Corylifolia' (: Hazel-leaved) was first described by Host^[1] in Flora Austriaca (1827).^[2] Another cultivar of the same name is described by Hugo Zapalowicz^[3] in Conspectus Florae Galiciae Criticus (1908),^[4] but was assumed to be 'Cornuta'.^[5]^[6] Herbarium specimens confirm that more than one clone has been labelled 'Corylifolia', some with longish petioles and with fruit more typical of Ulmus × hollandica hybrids.^[7]

Description

Host described the tree as having broad-ovate scabrid leaves, doubly toothed with broad, obtuse teeth.

Pests and diseases
