Ulmus × Hollandica 'Canadian Giant'
The elm cultivar ''Ulmus'' × ''hollandica'' 'Canadian Giant', the 'Canadensis' of nurseries, was mentioned as ''Ulmus montana'' Bauh. var. 'Giant' by Lindley in ''A synopsis of the British Flora; arranged according to the Natural Orders'' (1829), without description. At the time, the taxon ''Ulmus montana'' was used both for Wych Elm cultivars and for those of ''Ulmus'' × ''hollandica''. Lindley appeared to distinguish "the Giant elm" from "the Chichester elm", while in Australia, where it was introduced in the late 19th century, ''Ulmus montana'' 'Canadian Giant' was distinguished from Huntingdon Elm. These pairings suggest that 'Canadian Giant' may have been a 'Vegeta'-type hybrid, rather than a wych cultivar, though possibly not synonymous with 'Vegeta' or 'Cicestria'. It is not known how or when 'Canadian' was added to Lindley's 'Giant elm', but the epithet may be related to the fact that the horticulturalist William Barron, who distributed the elm as 'Giant' or 'Canad ...

Ulmus × Hollandica
''Ulmus'' × ''hollandica'' Mill. , often known simply as Dutch elm, is a natural hybrid between wych elm (''U. glabra'') and field elm (''U. minor'') which commonly occurs across Europe wherever the ranges of the parent species overlap. In England, according to the field-studies of R. H. Richens, "The largest area f hybridizationis a band extending across Essex from the Hertfordshire border to southern Suffolk. The next largest is in northern Bedfordshire and adjoining parts of Northamptonshire. Comparable zones occur in Picardy and Cotentin in northern France". Crosses between ''U.'' × ''hollandica'' and either of the parent species are also classified as ''U.'' × ''hollandica''. ''Ulmus'' × ''hollandica'' hybrids, natural and artificial, have been widely planted elsewhere.Bean, W. J. (1981). ''Trees and shrubs hardy in Great Britain'', 7th edition. Murray, LondonElwes, H.

Ulmus × Hollandica 'Nottingham'
''Ulmus × hollandica'' 'Nottingham' is an elm cultivar. It was distributed from the early nineteenth century as 'Siberian elm' by Castle Nurseries, Nottingham, and much planted locally. Richard Hook Richens, Richens (1983) described it as a hybrid (biology), hybrid, possibly of French origin, between wych elm ''Ulmus glabra'' and field elm ''Ulmus minor''. He called it Nottingham elm.Richens, R. H., ''Elm'' (Cambridge 1983), p.97, p.196 It is not known why Castle Nurseries called the cultivar 'Siberian elm', a name widely accepted in Nottingham in the 19th and early 20th centuries (see 'Cultivation'). The species Ulmus pumila, ''Ulmus pumila'' Siberian elm was described by John Claudius Loudon, Loudon in the 1830s, but specimens are not believed to have been in UK collections or nurseries before the 20th century (see Ulmus pumila #Cultivation and uses, ''Ulmus pumila'' § 'Cultivation and uses'). It was, however, cultivated in Spain from the 17th century, where it hybridized with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ballarat
Ballarat ( ) () is a city in the Central Highlands of Victoria, Australia. At the 2021 census, Ballarat had a population of 111,973, making it the third-largest urban inland city in Australia and the third-largest city in Victoria. Within months of Victoria separating from the colony of New South Wales in 1851, gold was discovered near Ballarat, sparking the Victorian gold rush. Ballarat subsequently became a thriving boomtown that for a time rivalled Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, in terms of wealth and cultural influence. In 1854, following a period of civil disobedience in Ballarat over gold licenses, local miners launched an armed uprising against government forces. Known as the Eureka Rebellion, it led to the introduction of white male suffrage in Australia, and as such is interpreted as the origin of Australian democracy. The rebellion's symbol, the Eureka Flag, has become a national symbol. Proclaimed a city on 9 September 1870, Ballarat's prosperity, unlik ...
