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.
