Ulmus × hollandica 'Alba' is one of a number of hybrids arising from the crossing of the Wych Elm U. glabra with a variety of Field Elm U. minor. First mentioned by Kirchner[2], in Petzold[3] & Kirchner 559, 1864, as U. fulva Hort. var. alba, but without description. A specimen in the Herb. Nicholson at Kew was identified by Melville [4] as a rather broad-leafed form of U. × hollandica var vegeta (sensu Rehder) [1]. It is not known whether the tree remains in cultivation.
