The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Turkestanica' was first described by Regel as U. turkestanica in Dieck, Hauptcat. Baumschul. Zöschen (1883)[1] and in Gartenflora (1884).[2][3] Regel himself stressed that "U. turkestanica was only a preliminary name given by me; I regard this as a form of U. suberosa" [:U. minor ].[2][4] Litvinov (Schedae ad Herbarium Florae Rossicae, 1908) considered U. turkestanica Regel a variety of his U. densa (now considered in Russia a form of field elm[5][6]), adding that its fruits were "like those of U. foliacea Gilibert" [:U. minor].[7][8]
'Turkestanica' was distributed in Europe as U. turkestanica Regel by the Späth nursery of Berlin from c.1890,[9][10][11] in whose catalogues it was listed separately from U. pinnato-ramosa, now U. pumila 'Pinnato-ramosa', and from U. campestris umbraculifera.[12] It was later confused with these two – with 'Pinnato-ramosa' by Elwes and Henry (1913)[3] and Krüssmann (1976),[13] and with 'Umbraculifera' by Green (1964).[14]
