About: Ulmus 'Monstrosa'

An Entity of Type: plant, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Monstrosa' [: "monstrous", "strange"], a shrub-elm with fasciated branching, is believed to have originated in France, where it was first listed by in Arboretum Segrezianum (1877) as a form of Field Elm, Ulmus campestris var. monstrosa, but without description. Though its long slender 2 cm petiole (see herbarium specimens in 'External links') is not a feature of wych elm U. glabra Huds., and is even less likely in a shrub form of this species, the wych-cultivar error arose early, perhaps because the Späth nursery of Berlin, using Ulmus montana both for some Ulmus × hollandica cultivars and for wych varieties, listed it c.1890 as Ulmus montana monstrosa. Hartwig in Illustrirtes Gehölzbuch (1892) followed with Ulmus scabra monstrosa, an error repeated by Krüssman (19

  • The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Monstrosa' [: "monstrous", "strange"], a shrub-elm with fasciated branching, is believed to have originated in France, where it was first listed by in Arboretum Segrezianum (1877) as a form of Field Elm, Ulmus campestris var. monstrosa, but without description. Though its long slender 2 cm petiole (see herbarium specimens in 'External links') is not a feature of wych elm U. glabra Huds., and is even less likely in a shrub form of this species, the wych-cultivar error arose early, perhaps because the Späth nursery of Berlin, using Ulmus montana both for some Ulmus × hollandica cultivars and for wych varieties, listed it c.1890 as Ulmus montana monstrosa. Hartwig in Illustrirtes Gehölzbuch (1892) followed with Ulmus scabra monstrosa, an error repeated by Krüssman (1962) and by Green (1964), with their U. glabra Huds. 'Monstrosa'. 'Monstrosa' was sometimes referred to as Ulmus scabra [:glabra Huds.] f. nana monstrosa Schneid., leading to confusion with the more common (and still cultivated) dwarf elm Ulmus glabra 'Nana' (see 'Cultivation'). Späth in his late 19th and early 20th century catalogues listed and described Ulmus montana monstrosa separately from Ulmus montana nana. (en)
