The Wych Elm cultivar Ulmus glabra 'Concavaefolia' (Fontaine, 1968),[1] a form with up-curling leaves, was listed in Beissner's Handbuch der Laubholz-Benennung (1903) as Ulmus montana cucullata Hort. [:'hooded', the leaf],[2] a synonym of the Ulmus scabra Mill. [:glabra Huds.] var. concavaefolia of herbarium specimens.[3] An Ulmus campestris cucullata, of uncertain species, had appeared in Loddiges' 1823 list,[4] but Loudon's brief description (1838) of concave- and hooded-leaved elms[5] was insufficient for later botanists to distinguish them.[6] The earliest unambiguous description appears to be that of Petzold and Kirchner in Arboretum Muscaviense (1864).[7]

Not to be confused with the field elm cultivar 'Webbiana', which also has longitudinally-folded, up-curling leaves (though smaller, shallower-toothed, and with longer petiole), or with concave-leaved field elms with down-curling leaves (see U. minor 'Concavaefolia' and U. minor 'Cucullata').
