The least tiger (Parantica pumila) is a species of butterfly in the Danainae subfamily. It is found in New Caledonia and Vanuatu.
Ulmus pumila, the Siberian elm, is a tree native to Central Asia, eastern Siberia, the Russian Far East, Mongolia, Tibet, northern China, India and Korea. It is also known as the Asiatic elm and dwarf elm, but sometimes miscalled the 'Chinese Elm'. It is the last tree species encountered in the semi-desert regions of central Asia. Described by Pallas in the 18th century from specimens from Transbaikal, Ulmus pumila has been widely cultivated throughout Asia, North America, Argentina, and southern Europe, becoming naturalized in many places, notably across much of the United States.
Parantica aspasia, the yellow glassy tiger, is a butterfly found in Asia that belongs to the crows and tigers, that is, the danaid group of the brush-footed butterflies family.
Parantica, commonly called tigers, is an Old World genus of butterflies in subfamily Danainae of family Nymphalidae. They are found in southeastern Asia, Indonesia, Papua-New Guinea, and the Philippines. Many of these species are endemic to islands and considered endangered, vulnerable, or threatened according to the IUCN Red List. For other butterflies called tigers see the genus Danaus.
The hybrid cultivar Ulmus 'Androssowii'R. Kam., an elm of Uzbekistan sometimes referred to in old travel books as 'Turkestan Elm' or as 'karagach' [:black tree, = elm], its local name, is probably an artificial hybrid. According to Lozina-Lozinskaia the tree is unknown in the wild in Uzbekistan, and apparently arose from a crossing of U. densa var. bubyrianaLitv., which it resembles, and the Siberian Elm Ulmus pumila.
The New Ireland yellow tiger is a species of nymphalid butterfly in the subfamily Danainae. It is endemic to the island of New Ireland.
The D'Abrera's tiger is a species of nymphalid butterfly in the Danainae subfamily. It is endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia. The species was discovered by Bernard d'Abrera, an Australian entomological taxonomist and philosopher of science. The butterfly is described as black and white, with similar markings to a monarch butterfly.
The Morishita's tiger is a species of butterfly in the family Danaidae. It is endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia.
The Kirby's tiger is a species of nymphalid butterfly in the Danainae subfamily. It is found in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

The Siberian elm cultivar Ulmus pumila 'Aurea' was released by the Honze nursery in China shortly before the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Little information is currently (2008) available, and although the species is apparently U. pumila, it is advertised as a 'Chinese Elm', which is U. parvifolia.
Ulmus × intermediaElowsky is a natural hybrid elm occurring across Nebraska and several other Midwestern states, derived from the crossing of Ulmus rubra and Ulmus pumila. As Red Elm U. rubra is far less fertile, and highly susceptible to Dutch elm disease (:DED), it could eventually be hybridized out of existence by U. × intermedia. The hybrid was first reported from the wild in the Chicago region in 1950 and was provisionally named U. × nothaWilhelm & Ware in 1994.
