Elm
For other senses of this word, see
Elm (disambiguation). Elms are
deciduous and
semi-deciduous trees making up the genus
Ulmus, family
Ulmaceae, found throughout the
Northern Hemisphere from
Siberia to
Indonesia,
Mexico to
Japan. Many species and cultivars have also been introduced as ornamentals to parts of the
Southern Hemisphere, notably
Australasia. Elms have alternate, simple, single- or doubly-serrate leaves, usually asymmetric at the base and acuminate at the apex. They are
hermaphroditic, having
perfect flowers which, being wind-pollinated, are without petals. The fruit is a round wind-dispersed
samara.
