Science - Botany / types of trees/wood

English term or phrase: elm/ ash

These are two types of wood. Al-Mawrid renders them both as خشب الدردار, but since they are both mentioned in my text, I need two different words. Maybe someone has access to another dictionary which suggests 2 different words? Thanks in advance!
