Ulmus boissieri Grudz., (Persian: نارون برگریز or نارون گلپشهای), a disputed species of elm found in Iran, was identified by Grudzinskaya in 1977.[1][4] She equated her "new species" with the U. campestris f. microphylla collected in 1859 in Kerman Province[5] and described in his Flora Orientalis (1879) by Boissier,[2] for whom she named it, treating Boissier's specimen as the "type". The tree is endemic the provinces of Kermanshah (Qasr-e Shirin, Bisotun) and Kerman.,[6] and also the Zagros forests, growing with Quercus brantii, Celtis australis, Platanus orientalis, Fraxinus sp., and Cerasus mahaleb.[7][8]

Although two more recent Iranian treatises maintain the original taxon,[7][6] Richens (1983), in line with Boissier's original U. campestris identification, sank U. boissieri as Ulmus minor, along with six other elms considered species by Soviet botanists.[3] Grudzinskaya (1977) incorrectly stated that "U. boissieri was described by Boissier in the rank of a species". Boissier had in fact listed his small-leaved Persian elm as a form of the species, U. campestris. Grudzinskaya (1977) does not refer to the diagnostic field-elm feature of root-suckering.
