In 1666, he published an attack on quacks, ‘Vindiciæ Medicinæ et Medicorum, an Apology for the Profession and Professors of Physic.’ The 1656 translation of the Aurea Themis of Michael Maier was by Nathaniel Hodges and Thomas Hodges (his father or his brother).

Ulmus 'Australis'

Henry also mentions specimens growing in botanical gardens at Le Mans and Bordeaux, and others growing as far south as Spizza (now Sutomore) in Dalmatia (Montenegro).

Augustine Henry described lines of the trees along the Cours-la-Reine in Rouen planted in 1649 by the Duc de Longueville; several of which were still alive in 1912, having attained a height of about 28 m.

Ulmus 'Christine Buisman'

elm disease (DED), Ophiostoma ulmi, which afflicted Europe's elms after the First World War.

Moderately resistant to Dutch elm disease (DED), but very prone to cankers caused by Coral Spot fungus Nectria cinnabarina as it lacked resistance mechanisms.

A large specimen planted in 1957 by Bernice Cronkhite in memory of Christine Buisman survives (2010) outside the Cronkhite Graduate Center, Harvard University, USA.

Ulmus 'Columella'

Clone FL 666 (Heybroek's 405* × 'Columella'), Istituto per la Protezione delle Piante, Florence.

Ulmus 'Homestead'

The cultivar arose from a 1970 crossing of the Siberian Elm Ulmus pumila (female parent) with the hybrid N 215 ('Commelin' × (U. pumila var. arborea × U. minor 'Hoersholmiensis')), the latter grown from seed sent in 1960 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison elm breeding team by Hans Heybroek of the De Dorschkamp Research Institute in the Netherlands.

Ulmus 'Lobel'

The tree is named for Matthias de L'obel, the Flemish botanist also commemorated by the genus Lobelia.

'Lobel' was introduced to North America in 1991 when Heybroek donated material to the North Central Regional PI Station, Iowa State University, but the tree is not known to have been commercially released there.

Ulmus 'Louis van Houtte'

The cultivar is named for the Belgian horticulturist and plant collector Louis Benoit van Houtte, 1810 - 1876.

Ulmus 'Marmorata'

'Marmorata' was described as "beautifully variegated with white"; the original tree in Destedter Park, Cremlingen, Lower Saxony, was said to have produced massive variegated suckers.

Ulmus 'Nana'

The low height of the tree should ensure that it avoids colonization by the Scolytus bark beetles and thus remain free of Dutch elm disease.

Ulmus 'Pitteurs Pendula'

However, Hans M. Heybroek, erstwhile head of the elm breeding programme at the de Dorschkamp Research Institute for Forestry & Landscape Planning at Wageningen, identified the tree as Zelkova × verschaffeltii.

Ulmus 'Rosehill'

The tree was later marketed by the Willis Nursery Co. of Ottawa, Kansas.

Ulmus 'Webbiana'

Two specimens are known to survive, one in the USA and the other in the UK, the latter treated as a hedging plant to avoid the attentions of the Scolytus beetles that act as vectors of Dutch elm disease.

The origin of the epithet is obscure, but may commemorate Philip Barker Webb, an English botanist of the early 19th century.

Ulmus × androssowii

The hybrid has been widely planted in southern and western areas of the former Soviet Union, notably along the streets of Samarkand.

Ulmus × hollandica 'Cinerea'

Only one living specimen is known, at Wakehurst Place, England, where it survives by being treated as a hedging plant, too low to attract the attentions of the Scolytus beetles that act as vectors of Dutch elm disease.

Ulmus × hollandica 'Dampieri'

University of Copenhagen Botanic Garden, where it is also known by the common name of 'Krusbladet'.

Ulmus × hollandica 'Superba'
