1. Ulmus laevis

   Ulmus laevis Pall., variously known as the European white elm, fluttering elm, spreading elm, stately elm and, in the United States, the Russian elm, is a large deciduous tree native to Europe, from France northeast to southern Finland, east beyond the Urals into Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, and southeast to Bulgaria and the Crimea; there are also disjunct populations in the Caucasus and Spain, the latter now considered a relict population rather than an introduction by man, and possibly the origin of the European population. U. laevis is rare in the UK, although its random distribution, together with the absence of any record of its introduction, has led at least one British authority to consider it native. NB: The epithet 'white' elm commonly used by British foresters alluded to the timber of the wych elm.The species was first identified, as Ulmus laevis, by Pallas, in his Flora Rossica published in 1784. The tree is allogamous and is most closely related to the American elm U. americana.Endemic to alluvial forest, U. laevis is rarely encountered at elevations above 400 m. Most commonly found along rivers such as the Volga and Danube, it is one of very few elms tolerant of prolonged waterlogged, anoxic ground conditions. The species is threatened by habitat destruction and disturbance in some countries, notably Spain. Flood control schemes are particularly harmful, as seed dispersion is reliant on floods, while abstraction from aquifers lowering ground water levels has compromised the development of the trees. Although not possessed of an innate genetic resistance to Dutch elm disease, the species is rarely infected in western Europe.

1. ulmus laevis

   Ulmus laevis, commonly known as the European White Elm or Fluttering Elm, is a species of elm tree native to Europe and Western Asia. It is characterized by its large size, often reaching up to 30 meters in height, and its greyish bark that peels off in strips. The leaves are alternate, with toothed margins and asymmetrical bases. The tree is also known for its resistance to Dutch elm disease, a fungal disease which has devastated elm populations worldwide. It prefers moist, alluvium soils and is often found growing near rivers and streams.
