Ulmus aff. 'Plotii', or 'pseudo-Plotii', was the name first used by Melville in the 1940s for elms in England, of various genotypes, that resemble but do not completely match the 'type'-tree, U. minor 'Plotii'.[3] It was taken up again following Dr Max Coleman's findings about Plot Elm (2000)[4] and his paper on British elms (2002).[5]
Melville's brief description, at the end of a paragraph on Plot Elm in a 1948 paper, of "a second small-leaved elm, as yet unnamed, found in the lower Thames Valley and East Anglia", that "shares some of the curious features of the Plot Elm but lacks its graceful habit",[6] may be a reference to his aff. 'Plotii'.
Plot-like field elms have also been observed in U. minor fringe areas outside England.[2][1]
