An erect shrub elm tall or more, branched, with tomentose branches. Branches less densely leafy than in related species. LeafÂlets linear, piniform, usually 8-13 mm long and 0,5-0,7 mm thick, subterete or slightly flat, rather weak (i.e. not very rigid), with dense, short, silvery sericeous pubescence, ending in an indistinct little mucro. InfloresÂcences unifloral, often several on each branch. Bract linear-subulate, 1-2,5 mm long, seriÂceous, with apical mucro. Pedicel c. 1 mm long, tomentose. Bracteoles 1,2-3 mm long. Calyx globose, or short-campanulate, the tube c. 4 mm long, densely short-villous (veluti-nous); lobes short, triangular, only 1,3-2 mm long, mucronulate. Petals light yellow. StandÂard blade triangular-obovate, 12,5-14,5 x 10-13,5 mm, short-velutinuous on the back and puberulous also on marginal-apical parts of the front. Wing blades 10,5-12 X 3-4 mm, glabrous. Keel blades lunate, 10,5-11,5 X 5-5,7 mm, obtuse, glabrous, with ± straight upper margin. Pistil with densely woolly toÂmentose ovary (glabrous below) and style base; o
