Ulmus Minor
* "A deciduous tree that once commonly grew < 35 m tall, its Latin synonym carpinifolia alluding to the superficial similarity of the leaves to those of Hornbeam Carpinus sp., while the common names contrast the smooth upper surface and narrowness of the leaves with those of the Wych Elm, which are rough and broad. The apetalous perfect wind-pollinated flowers, and fruit (samarae) are very similar to those of the species." * from wikipedia entry
* "Southern Europe and Asia Minor including Iran." * from wikipedia entry
