TILIACE^. 



[Tilia COrdata, Mill. Native in woods in the Severn 

 Valley and in Somerset, and probably in Lincolnshire 

 (Ray recorded it there as abundant in woods, and Mr. 

 Smith, of Grimsby, tells me that it is still known there) 

 and in Normandy and Belgium. Its native range 

 extends to Siberia. It is more frequent in England as 

 a planted tree.] 



t 

 [Tilia platyphyllos, Scop. Native of Central and 

 Southern Europe, reaching as far north as the 

 Ardennes. In Normandy and England it is very 

 often planted, but in one spot, namely, Wyre Forest,, 

 it is believed to be native, and the geographical dis- 

 tribution is not sufficiently adverse to make it unsafe 

 to accept the general opinion of local botanists on this- 

 point.] 



Tilia tomentosa, Moench. A native of the Continent 

 of Europe, much planted for ornament in England, and 

 occasionally recorded as wild, though certainly not 

 really indigenous in this country. 



Tilia vulgaris, Hayne. A native of Europe from 

 Scandinavia to Greece, and reaching neither Normandy, 

 Belgium, nor England. Rather common as a planted 

 tree in Britain.
