It is not clear which taxa have a hypanthium; at least some species of Ulmus and Pilea do, but other species of Ulmus, Zelkova and Trema show no obvious signs of one (see also Bechtel 1921).

Other species of elms (Ulmus) and the close relative Zelkova, especially younger plants, look similar to Siberian elm. Some may even confuse it with choke-cherry (Prunus serotina) and hackberry (Celtis sp.).

Only the hackberry is found naturally in the West. Other cultivated genera from the family include Aphananthe, Hemiptelea, Pteroceltis, and Zelkova. The elm population has suffered greatly from Dutch elm disease.

Of course, mame should be miniature versions of the original tree, not some grotesquely deformed plant. You could shape a zelkova like a broom, cryptomerias as pillars; and pines make good mame with all the characteristics of the original species.
