The hybrid cultivar Etrusca was first mentioned by Nicholson in Kew Hand-List Trees & Shrubs 2: 139. 1896, as U. montana (: glabra) var. etrusca, but without description. The tree at Kew was later identified as of hybrid origin, U. glabra × U. minor var plotii (: × elegantissima) by Melville. It is not known whether Etrusca remains in cultivation.
