Ulmus × hollandica Mill. ‘Vegeta’ Lindley sometimes known as the Huntingdon Elm is an old English cultivar raised at Brampton near Huntingdon by nurserymen Wood & Ingram in 1746 allegedly from seed collected from an Ulmus × hollandica hybrid at nearby Hinchingbrooke Park. The tree was given the epithet ‘Vegeta’ by Loudon a name previously accorded the Chichester Elm by Donn as Loudon considered the two trees identical.
