TheField ElmcultivarUlmus minor 'Viminalis Marginata', a variegated form ofUlmus minor 'Viminalis',^[1] was first listed asUlmus campestris var.viminalis marginataHort. byKirchner in 1864.^[2] BothVan Houtte andSpäth marketed anU. campestris viminalis marginata in the late 19th century.^[3][4]

Nursery, arboretum, and herbarium specimens, however, confirm that 'Viminalis Marginata' was the name sometimes given to the more generally variegated 'Viminalis' cultivar'Pulverulenta'.

'Viminalis Marginata' is distinguished by its leaves which have mottled grey and white margins.^[5][6][7] This description appears to indicate a different clone from 'Pulverulenta'.

The 'Viminalis' cultivars are very susceptible toDutch elm disease.

'Viminalis Marginata' appeared in various late 19th- and early 20th-century European nursery lists and collections. The tree was distributed inVictoria, Australia, from the 1880s.^[8] A specimen stands inAdelaide Botanic Garden, Australia (see 'Accessions').

Herbarium specimens show that three trees supplied by theSpäth nursery of Berlin to theRoyal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 1902 asU. campestris viminalis marginata were the clone now called'Pulverulenta' or 'Variegata' (see under 'Pulverulenta'). TheUlmus campestris viminalis marginata supplied by Späth and planted in 1897 at theDominion Arboretum,Ottawa,Canada, and a tree from Späth planted under that name in 1913 in theRyston Hall arboretum,Norfolk, UK,^[9] in the early 20th century,^[10] may therefore also have been 'Pulverulenta' or 'Variegata'.^[11]

The variegated 'Viminalis' inBatsford Arboretum, Moreton-in-Marsh, the only known old specimen of a variegated 'Viminalis' surviving in the UK, is listed by the arboretum as 'Viminalis Marginata', but its mottled variegation recalls the Latin name of the cultivar'Viminalis Pulverulenta' rather than the description (above) of 'Viminalis Marginata'.
