Ulmus ‘Morfeo’ is a hybrid elm cultivar raised by the Istituto per la Protezione delle Piante (IPP) Florence in 2000. Originally identified as ‘FL 509′ ‘Morfeo’ arose from a crossing of the Chenmou Elm (male parent) a small tree from the provinces of Anhui and Jiangsu in eastern China and the Dutch hybrid clone ‘405’. The ‘405’ clone is a full sister of ‘Groeneveld’ a crossing of an English U. × hollandica and a French U.
