The putative Field Elm Ulmus minor sensu latissimo cultivar ‘Purpurascens’ was listed by Lavallée [1] in Arb. Segrez. 236 1877 as U. campestris var. purpurascens but without description and later by Schneider in Ill. Handb. Laubh. 1: 220 1904. Krüssmann [2] in Handb. Laubgeh. 2: 540 1962 identified it as a cultivar. See also Ulmus ‘Atropurpurea’.
