Ulmus wallichiana Planch., the Himalayan elm, also known as the Kashmir elm
and Bhutan elm, is a mountain tree ranging from central Nuristan in Afghanistan, through northern Pakistan and
northern India to western
Nepal at elevations of 800–3000 m.
Although dissimilar in
appearance, its common name is
occasionally used in
error for the cherry bark
elm Ulmus villosa,
which is also endemic to the Kashmir,
but inhabits
the valleys, not the mountain slopes.
The species is closely related to the
wych elm U. glabra.
