## Description

Baudriller described the tree simply as a small-leafed elm with silver teeth. It was later described as a small tree, the leaves with white margins and spots.[2]

## Cultivation

One tree, probably obtained from Späth, was planted as U. campestris microphylla fol. albo-dentatis in 1899 at the Dominion Arboretum, Ottawa, Canada .[3] A specimen of U. campestris microphylla fol. albo-dentatis, obtained from Späth and planted in 1914, stood in the Ryston Hall arboretum, Norfolk,[4] in the early 20th century, where it was incorrectly listed as U. campestris macrophylla fol. albo dentatis.[5] No specimens are known to survive, the one known specimen in Latvia now acknowledged as probably another cultivar. The tree is not known to have ever been cultivated beyond Europe.
