The '''Ulmaceae''' {{IPAc-en|V|l|'|m|ay|s|ee}} are a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants|flowering plant]] that includes the [[elm]]s (genus ''Ulmus''), and the [[zelkova]]s (genus ''Zelkova'').<ref>{{cite journal | last = Denk | first = T | author2 = GW Grimm | title = Phylogeny and biogeography of ''Zelkova'' (Ulmaceae ''sensu stricto'') as inferred from leaf morphology, ITS sequence data and the fossil record | journal = [[Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society|Bot J Linn Soc]] | volume = 147 | issue = 2 | pages = 129–157 | publisher = Linnean Society of London | date = February 2005 | doi = 10.1111/j.1095-8339.2005.00354.x}}</ref> Members of the family are widely distributed throughout the [[Temperate|north temperate zone]], and have a scattered distribution elsewhere except for [[Australasia]].<ref name="Watson">{{cite web|last = Watson|first = L.|author2=Dallwitz, M.

The family was formerly sometimes treated to include the [[Celtis|hackberries]], (''Celtis'' and allies), but analysis by the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]] members suggests that these genera are better placed in the related family [[Cannabaceae]].  The circumscription included in the taxobox is the one suggested by P. Stevens on his Missouri Botanical Garden Angiosperm Phylogeny Website and includes information from the [[Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew]] Vascular Plant Families and Genera list.<ref name="stevens"/>  It generally is considered to include ca 7 genera and about 45 species.<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal | author = Christenhusz, M.

==Description==

The family is a group of evergreen or deciduous trees and shrubs with [[mucilage]]nous substances in leaf and bark tissue. [[Leaf|Leaves]] are usually alternate on the stems. The leaf blades are simple (not compound), with entire (smooth) or variously toothed margins, and often have an asymmetrical base. The flowers are small and either bisexual or unisexual.<ref name="Sytsma">{{Citation |last=Sytsma |first=Kenneth J. |last2=Morawetz |first2=Jeffery |last3=Pires |first3=J.

''Ulmus'' provides important [[Timber|timber trees]] mostly for [[furniture]], and ''U. rubra'', the [[slippery elm]], is a [[Medical herbalism|medicinal plant]] known for the [[Demulcent|demulcent property]] of its inner bark. ''Planera aquatica'' is also a timber species. ''Planera'', ''Ulmus'', and ''Zelkova'' are all grown as [[Ornamental plant|ornamental trees]].
