Ulmus serotinaSarg., the September elm, is an autumn-flowering North American species of tree. It is uncommon beyond Tennessee; it is only very locally distributed through Illinois, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Georgia, and disjunct populations into Nuevo León, Mexico. It grows predominantly on limestone bluffs and along streams to elevations of 400 m.
The University of Georgia Campus Arboretum is an arboretum located across the University of Georgia campus in Athens, Georgia. It is open daily without charge.
The possible elm cultivar Ulmus 'Jalaica' hails from the Baltic states. Living specimens are grown in the arboretum at the National Botanic Garden of Latvia, Salaspils, introduced in 1998 from the Tallinn Botanic Garden and the plantarium OPU Tallinn, Estonia. It was assumed the word 'Jalaica' was the name given the cultivar, but it has since emerged that the word simply means 'Elm' in Estonian, and the trees donated may not in fact be cultivars, although of rather unusual appearance.
Ulmus ellipticaKoch is a disputed species of elm, native to the Caucasus, where Koch reported that it formed extensive woods, and ranging north to southern Ukraine. The tree reminded Koch of the elm then called Ulmus majorSmith, except in its samara. Others thought it closely related to U. glabra, but to resemble U. rubra in its samara. Many authorities consider U. ellipticaKoch just a regional form of U. glabra, though Henry, Bean and Krüssman list the Caucasus tree as a species in its own right. U. ellipticaKoch is likewise distinguished from U. scabraMill. [:U. glabraHuds.] in some Armenian and Russian plant lists.
