Nanjing professor named it
Langya elm, as the name suggests, is the elm tree on Langya Mountain. This name was given by a professor in Nanjing. According to research, there are more than 300 kinds of trees in Langya Mountain in Chuzhou, among which Langya Ulmus and Zuiweng Ulmus are unique to Langya Mountain. In the past, when people saw this tall and straight tree, they admired it but could not name it. In 1955, Zheng Wanjun, a professor at Nanjing Forestry University (now Nanjing Forestry University) and a famous tree taxonomist in my country, visited Langya Mountain. When he saw these two kinds of trees, he was surprised and said: "This is the most common tree species in forests and ancient temples in famous mountains across the country." I have never seen it before." Mr. Zheng immediately named it after the mountain and the pavilion. In this way, Langyayu and Zuiwengyu have their own unique names.
