The American Elm cultivar Ulmus americana 'Folia Aurea Variegata' was first described by Jäger in Die ziergehölze der Gärten und parkanlagen (1865).[1] An Ulmus americana foliis variegatis Hort. had been listed by Loudon in 1838.[2]

The tree was distinguished by leaves variegated with yellow.[3]
Loudon reported specimens of his 'Foliis variegatis' in the Horticultural Society Garden. No specimens are known to survive. A 2018 Cornell study of the surviving elms of the National Mall, Washington D.C., listed some 28 specimens of a "distinctive striped cultivar, possibly U. americana ", but this referred to vertical fissuring in young bark, not to variegated leaves.[4]
