The Field Elm Ulmus minor sensu latissimo cultivar ‘Umbraculifera’ was originally cultivated in Iran where it was widely planted as an ornamental and occasionally grew to a great size. Litvinov considered it a cultivar of a wild elm with a dense crown that he called U. densa from the mountains of Turkestan Ferghana and Aksu. Non-rounded forms of Umbraculifera are also found in Isfahan Province Iran. Zielińksi in Flora Iranica considered it an U. minor cultivar.
