 paper pulp. 



8. neglecta, Spach (T. Michauorii, Sarg., not Nutt. 

 T. pubescens, Hort., not Vent.). Tree, to 80 ft.: branch- 

 lets glabrous, red: Ivs. broadly ovate or ovate, acumi- 

 nate, obliquely cordate at the base, rarely truncate, 

 coarsely serrate, with long-pointed, usually incurved 

 teeth, dark green and glabrous or sparingly pubescent 

 above, more or less stellate-pubescent and grayish green 

 beneath with conspicuous axillary tufts, 6-6 in. long, 

 turning yellow in autumn: cymes many-fld.; bract 

 decurrent nearly to the base, tomentulose above; 

 peduncle glabrous: fr. subglobose or ovoid, slightly fur- 

 rowed, tomentose. July. E. Canada to Ga. and Texas 

 west to Ohio. S.M. 673. This species has often been 

 confused with T. pubescens and with T. heterophytta. 



9. heterophylla, Vent. (T. dlba, Michx. T. Mich- 

 auxii, Nutt.). Tree, to 60 ft.: young branchlets gla- 

 brous and red: Ivs. broadly ovate to oval-ovate, short- 

 acuminate, obliquely truncate or cordate at the base, 

 finely serrate with rather short-pointed teeth, dark 

 green and glabrous above, white-tomentose beneath 

 without axillary tufts, 47 in. long: fls. in many-fld. 

 pendulous cymes; bract decurrent often nearly to the 

 base, rather large: fr. subglobose, tomentulose. June. 

 W. N. Y. to Ala. and 111. S.S. 1:27. This is a very 

 handsome linden with its large Ivs. silvery white below 

 and is sometimes sold as T. macrophylla. 



10. Oliveri, Szyszylowicz. Tree, to 

 60 ft. : young branchlets reddish brown, 

 glabrous: Ivs. ovate, short-acuminate, 

 cordate or truncate at the base, sinu- 

 ately denticulate, with short gland- 

 tipped teeth, dark green and glabrous 

 above, white-tomentose beneath, with- 

 out axillary tufts, 3-5 in. long; petioles 

 glabrous: fls. about 20, in pendulous 

 cymes; bract sessile; pedicels short, 

 thickened: fr. globose, tomentose and 

 tuberculate, apiculate, thick -shelled. 

 Cent. China. This recently intro. 



species promises to be a handsome ornamental tree. 



11. spectabilis, Dipp. (T. dlba spectdbilis, Hort. T. 

 Blechiana, Hort.). Hybrid of T. americana and T. 

 petiolaris or T. tomentosa. Tree of vigorous growth: 

 branchlets glabrous or slightly pubescent at first; buds 

 pubescent toward the top: Ivs. similar to those of T. 

 americana, ovate, slightly grayish tomentose beneath, 

 with long hairs on the veins, without axillary tufts, 4-6 

 in. long, 3-5 in. wide: infl. and size of fls. like those of T. 

 americana, but tomentose though less densely than T. 

 tomentosa. Blooms 2 or 3 weeks earlier than T. tomen- 

 tosa. Of unknown origin; a similar form was raised 

 from seed of T. petiolaris at the Arnold Arboretum in 

 1900. Var. M61tkei, Rehd. (T. Mdltkei, Spaeth). 

 Branchlets and buds quite glabrous: Ivs. often without 

 long hairs on the veins, 6-7 in. long. Originated at 

 Spaeth's nursery near Berlin, Germany. 



12. tomentSsa, Moench (T. argentea, DC. T. dTba, 

 Ait. T.dlbapyramiaalis,~KoTt.). WHITE LINDEN. Tree, 

 to 100 ft. with upright branches: young branchlets 

 stellate-tomentose: Ivs. nearly orbicular, abruptly 

 acuminate, truncate or cordate at the base, serrate 

 or doubly serrate, often lobulate, with short-pointed 

 teeth, sparingly pubescent above, white-tomentose 

 beneath, 3-5 in. across; petiole pubescent, less than 

 half of the length of the blade: fls. 7-10, in pendulous 

 tomentose cymes: fr. ovoid, slightly 5-angled, tomen- 

 tose; shell woody. July. E. Eu., Asia Minor. R.F.G. 

 6:324. H.W. 3:43, p. 26. F.E. 14:1154, pi. 39. G.W. 

 8, p. 617. M.D.G. 1903:190; 1904 : 189. This is a 

 very handsome tree of dense habit with upright 

 branches; it stands heat and drought better than any of 

 the other species. Its fls. and those of the following 

 species have proved poisonous to bees. 



13. petiolaris, Hook, f., not DC. (T. tomentosa var. 

 petiolaris, Kirchn. T. dlba, Koch. T. americana pen- 

 dula, Hort.). WEEPING WHITE LINDEN. Tree, to 80 

 ft., with slender pendulous branches: young branch- 

 lets tomentose: Ivs. similar to those of the preceding 

 species, but more finely and regularly serrate and 

 petioles slenderer, longer than half the blade: fls. also 

 like those of T. tomentosa: fr. globose, depressed at the 

 apex, with 5 furrows, tomentose; seeds often imperfect. 

 G.L. 19:257. Gng. 5:210; 15:291. Gn.W. 22:35 

 (suppl. Jan. 14). G. 34:687. M.D.G. 1901:163. B.M. 

 6737. Known only in cult, and probably a variety of 

 the preceding species. 



14. mandsh&rica, Rupr. & Maxim. Tree, to about 

 60 ft.: young branchlets and buds with brownish 

 tomentum: Ivs. orbicular-ovate, short-acuminate, usu- 

 ally cordate at the base, coarsely serrate with long- 



3815. Tilia Maximowicziana. 

 (Xnearly Y 2 ) 



pointed teeth, sparingly pubescent above, white- 

 tomentose beneath, 4-6 in. long; petiole about half as 

 long as the blade, tomentose: fls. 7-10, in pendulous 

 cymes covered with brownish tomentum: fr. globose, 

 tomentose, with 5 distinct ribs toward the base or 

 without ribs. N. China, Manchuria, Korea. Similar 

 to T. tomentosa, from which it differs in the larger Ivs. 

 with long-pointed teeth and in the fr. Like the two 

 following species still rare in cult. 



15. Miqueliana, Maxim. Tree, to 40 ft.: young 

 branchlets finely tomentose: Ivs. ovate or deltoid-ovate, 

 usually much longer than broad, acute or acuminate, 

 obliquely cordate at the base, coarsely serrate with 

 broad mucronate teeth, dark green and glabrous or 

 nearly so above, grayish tomentose beneath, without 

 axillary tufts of hairs, 2^-5 in. long: fls. 10-20 in 

 pendulous tomentose cymes; stamens 60-75; style 

 shorter than petals, hairy at the base: fr. subglobose, 

 tomentose, 5-ribbed at the base. Cult, in Japan; 

 native habitat unknown. S.I.F. 1:72. 



16. Maximowicziana, Shirasawa (T. Miyabei, Jack. 

 T. Miqueliana, Sarg., not Maxim.). Fig. 3815. Tree, to 

 100 ft.: young branchlets tomentose: lys. broadly ovate 

 or orbicular-ovate, abruptly acuminate, obliquely 

 cordate at the base, coarsely serrate with broad mucro-
