The hybrid elm cultivar Ulmus × hollandica 'Fulva' is one of a number of cultivars arising from the crossing of Wych Elm U. glabra with Field Elm U. minor. Originally raised by Hesse's Nurseries, Weener, Germany, as Ulmus fulva Hort. (i.e. a horticultural tree or cultivar), it was mentioned in Mededeeling, Comite inzake Bestudeering en Bestrijding van de Iepenziekte 10: 9, 1932, but without description. In her 1933 paper Christine Buisman listed the plantings in The Hague under Ulmus × hollandica.Christine Buisman, 'Verslag van de onderzoekingen over de iepenziekte, verricht in het phytopathologisch laboratorium Willie Commelin scholten te Baarn, gedurende 1932 (1)', Tijdschrift over Planteziekte, Vol 39 Iss 4, April 1933, p.85 Hesse's 1933 catalogue contains both U. fulva Hort. and U. fulva Michx..
NB. The tree should not be confused with Ulmus fulva Michx., a synonym of the American Red, or Slippery, Elm now known as Ulmus rubra
