About: Ulmus minor 'Cucullata'

The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Cucullata', the Hooded elm, was listed by Loddiges of Hackney, London, in their catalogue of 1823 as Ulmus campestris cucullata, and later by Loudon in Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum (1838), as U. campestris var. cucullata. Hooded-leaved field elm is not to be confused with U. campestris L. cucullata (= Ulmus montana cucullata Hort), the curled-leaved wych elm cultivar 'Concavaefolia'.
