| Ulmaceae | Ulmus ×intermedia | Hybrid Elm | Recognizable from its intermediacy between its parents and occurrence in proximity to both. This hybrid apparently occurs in many midwestern States (cited for Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, Texas) (Elowsky, Jordon-Thaden, & Kaul 2013); the increasingly common naturalization of U. pumila in our area, and its proximity to populations of U. rubra would seem to make it inevitable that this hybrid occurs in our area. | ||

| Ulmaceae | Ulmus glabra | Wych Elm, Scotch Elm | Suburban woodlands. | Native of Europe. Naturalized in ne. United States; reported from Virginia and District of Columbia (Sherman-Broyles in FNA 1997), but may only be cultivated. | ![]() (c) Danielson, Erik |
| Ulmaceae | Ulmus minor | English Elm, English Cork Elm | Planted horticulturally, rarely spreading. | Native of Europe. | ![]() (c) Weakley, Alan - CC0 |
| Ulmaceae | Ulmus parvifolia | Chinese Elm, Lacebark Elm | Disturbed secondary forests, roadsides, fencerows, old fields, other disturbed areas. | Native of China and Japan. The bark on mature trees exfoliates creating a patchwork of gray, brown, green, and orange blotches. | ![]() (c) Fleming, Gary P. |

| Ulmaceae | Ulmus serotina | September Elm, Red Elm | Dry-mesic to mesic upland forests, bottomland and riparian forests, stream banks, bluffs, lake and pond margins, flatwoods; especially over limestone. | Kentucky, s. Illinois, and e. Oklahoma south to e. Tennessee, nw. Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi; allegedly disjunct in ne. Mexico (Coahuila and Nuevo León) (Villaseñor 2016).
