x. TILIACEIE : TI'LIA. 



98. Tiiia europse'a platyphjlla. 



lande, Fr. (Vent. Diss., p. 6. t. 1. f. 2. ; the plate in Arb. Brit., 1st 

 edit., vol. v. ; and our fig. 98.) Leaves cordate, roundish, 

 acuminated, sharply serrated, downy beneath ; origin of their veins 

 woolly. Branches hairy. Cymes 3-flowered. Fruit woody, downy, 

 turbinate, with 5 prominent angles. This tree is readily distinguished 

 from T. e. parvifolia by its much larger and rougher leaves, and, also, 

 by its rougher bark and hispid branches. 



T. e. 3 intermedia. T. intermedia Hayne ; T. platyphylla minor 

 Hart. (The plate of this variety in Arb. Brit, 1st edit., vol. v.; 

 and our fg. 99. ) Leaves intermediate between T. e. grandifolia 



99. Tflia europae^a intermedia 



and T. e. parvifolia. This variety is the most common in Britain ; 

 T. e. grandifolia in the South of Europe ; and T. e. parvifolia in the 

 North of Europe, and especially in Sweden. 



T. e. 4> lacinidta. T. platyphylla laciniata Hort. ; T. asplenifolia 

 nova Hort. (The plate in Arb. Brit., 1st edition, vol. v. ; and our 

 Jig. 100.) Leaves deeply and irregularly cut and twisted, scarcely 

 two on the tree being alike. Apparently a subvariety of T. e par- 

 vifolia. Height 20 or 30 feet.
