Ornamental deciduous trees, with alternate, short-peti- oled, toothed leaves and insignificant flowers in axillary clusters or solitary, followed by small drupe-like fruits. Z. acuminata is hardy north and Z. crenata hardy as far north as Mass., at least in sheltered positions.

Prop, by seeds sown soon after ripening; also by layers and bygraftingon Ulmus. Four species are known, natives of Crete, the Caucasus and E. Asia. They are allied to Celtis and Aphananthe and are chiefly distinguished by the con- nate sepals.
