Taxonomy

It was first described in 1838 under the name ( Basionym ) Fagus glutinosus Poepp. & Endl. by Eduard Friedrich Poeppig and Stephan Ladislaus Endlicher in Nova genera ac species plantarum quas in regno chilensi, peruviano et in terra amazonica ... , 2, p. 68, plate 194. The new combination by Henri Ernest Baillon was published in 1869 in Histoire des Plantes , Volume 1, p. 401 published. Another synonym of Eucryphia glutinosa (Poepp. & Endl.) Baill. is Eucryphia pinnatifolia Gay . Some sources suggest that Eucryphia cordifolia Cav. is the accepted name.

use

In climatically favorable areas with mild winters, but also not too hot summers, for example on the British Isles , the sticky pseudo-elm is planted as an ornamental shrub because of its flowers. It is the hardest of the Eucryphia species, but is nevertheless not hardy for the Central European climate.
