Herbarium specimens confirm that more than one field elm clone has been distributed as 'Pendula'. Henry (1913) distinguished "the true var. pendula", with its "dense crown of foliage", from a cultivar Kew called U. glabra Mill. pendula nova, "a common form of [field elm] with drooping branches".[4][5] The van Houtte nursery of Ghent distributed an U. campestris pendula from the 1880s,[6] as did various English nurseries,[7][8] while Späth's of Berlin marketed a small-leaved U. campestris suberosa pendula Hort. from the 1890s.[9]
Krüssman (1984) equated U. minor 'Pendula' with an U. campestris wentworthii, confusing it with the hybrid Wentworth Weeping Elm.[10]
