The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Propendens', described by Schneider in 1904 as U. glabra (:minor) var. suberosa propendens, Weeping Cork-barked elm, was said by Krüssmann (1976) to be synonymous with the U. suberosa pendula listed by Lavallée without description in 1877. Earlier still, Loudon's Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum (Volume 7, 1854) had included an illustration of a pendulous "cork-barked field elm", U. campestris suberosa. An U. campestris suberosa pendula was in nurseries by the 1870s (see 'Cultivation').
Not to be confused with U. campestris (:U. minor) microphylla pendula, a smooth-twigged cultivar.
Green considered Kirchner's Ulmus rugosa pendula (1864) a synonym of 'Propendens'.
