The Wych Elm cultivar Ulmus glabra 'Latifolia Aurea' was listed by Schelle in Beissner et al, Handbuch der Laubholz-Benennung (1903), as Ulmus glabra Miller latifolia aurea, but without description.[1][2] In the Netherlands in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, however, Ulmus montana latifolia aurea was a synonym of the wych cultivar 'Lutescens',[3] and Green reclassified Schelle's 'Latifolia aurea' as a form of U. glabra Hudson.
