What rhymes with ulmus 'klemmer'?
ul·mus 'klem·mer'

'Klemmer' or the Flanders Elm, is probably one of a number of hybrids arising from the crossing of the Wych Elm with a variety of Field Elm, making it a variety of Ulmus × hollandica . Originating in the Bruges area, it was released in 1789 and was listed at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew as Ulmus × hollandica var. Klemmerii. The name 'Klemmer' derives, however, from the Flemish for 'climber', a reference to the tree's rapid growth and lofty height; so Klemmerii is a misnomer, incorrectly implying a proper noun Klemmer. This elm's rapid growth in its native area suggests F1 hybrid vigour. Though the tree was regarded by Green as "possibly U. carpinifolia", fast growth is not usually a feature of U. minor in Northern Europe. NB. The tree should not be confused with 'Klehmii', a cultivar of Ulmus americana named for Charles Klehm, an Illinois nurseryman.
