As the traditional pronunciation of Latin has evolved alongside English since the Middle Ages, the page detailing English's phonological evolution from Middle English (in this case, from the Middle-English-Latin pronunciation roughly midway through the 1400-1600 section) can give a better idea of what exactly has happened, and this is just an ...
The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Atinia Variegata', the Variegated-leaved common English Elm, [1] formerly known as U. procera 'Argenteo-Variegata' [2] and described by Weston (1770) as U. campestris argenteo-variegata, [3] is believed to have originated in England in the seventeenth century [4] and to have been cultivated since the eighteenth.

The field elm (Ulmus minor) cultivar 'Atinia' , [1] commonly known as the English elm, formerly common elm and horse may, [2] and more lately the Atinian elm, [3] was, before the spread of Dutch elm disease, the most common field elm in central southern England, though not native there, and one of the largest and fastest-growing deciduous trees in Europe.

Many publications, however, continue to use plain Ulmus minor for undifferentiated field elm; indeed Dr Max Coleman of Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh argued in his 2002 paper 'British Elms' that there ...
The binomial name often reflects limited knowledge or hearsay about a species at the time it was named. For instance Pan troglodytes, the chimpanzee, and Troglodytes troglodytes, the wren, are not necessarily cave-dwellers. Sometimes a genus name or specific descriptor is simply the Latin or Greek name for the animal (e.g. Canis is Latin for ...
This is a list of Latin words with derivatives in English language. Ancient orthography did not distinguish between i and j or between u and v. [1] Many modern works distinguish u from v but not i from j. In this article, both distinctions are shown as they are helpful when tracing the origin of English words.

Aside from references literal and metaphorical to the elm and vine theme, the tree occurs in Latin literature in the Elm of Dreams in the Aeneid. [79] When the Sibyl of Cumae leads Aeneas down to the Underworld, one of the sights is the Stygian Elm: In medio ramos annosaque bracchia pandit ulmus opaca, ingens, quam sedem somnia vulgo
The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Atinia Pyramidalis', was first described as U. campestris pyramidalis by Vicary Gibbs [1] in the Gardeners' Chronicle (1922). [2] ' Pyramidalis' reportedly originated from a bud sport of "common elm" ( English Elm ) at Gibbs' Aldenham estate, Hertfordshire , England , c. 1890.
