Zelkova × verschaffeltii (Cut-leaf Zelkova) is a zelkova cultivar of hybrid origin. It was originally described in 1892 by Leopold Dippel from a cultivated plant as Zelkova japonica var. verschaffeltii suggesting an eastern Asian origin for it. In 1896 George Nicholson raised it to species rank as Zelkova verschaffeltii while its much closer similarity to Zelkova carpinifolia led Augustine Henry to suggest it might be a hybrid between Zelkova carpinifolia and Zelkova abelicea.
