Ulmus glabra 'Australis' is a Wych Elm cultivar described by Loudon in 1838,[1] from a tree in the Royal Horticultural Society garden, as U. montana var. australis Hort..[2]
Loudon's 'Australis' is not to be confused with Henry's U. campestris 'Australis', a tall southern European field elm or hybrid cultivar with an oval leaf and longer petiole.[3]
Description
Loudon said the variety had "rather smaller leaves, and a more pendulous habit, than the species", but did "not appear to be different in any other respect".
Cultivation
No specimens are known to survive, though wych elms of a similar type sometimes occur among avenue and park plantings in Edinburgh.
