Ulmus minor Mill.
Ulmus minor
Ulmus minor, commonly known as the field elm, is a highly polymorphic species native to south Europe and extending into Asia Minor and Iran. It grows typically to less than 30 meters in height with a rounded crown. The bark is rough and furrowed, developing a block pattern in older trees. Leaves are smaller than other European elm species and vary greatly depending on the tree's maturity, often exhibiting minute black glands along the veins. The tree produces samarae that are oval or obovate, glabrous, and 12–15 mm long.
