8. Tilia T.—Flowers hermaphrodite; receptacle shortly conical. 
Sepals 5, valvate. Petals 5, alternate, base naked or squamose en- 
larged, imbricated. Stamens ©, inserted with perianth, filaments 
subfree or connate at base in 5 phalanges, oppositipetalous ; anthers 
extrorse ; cells distinct, longitudinally rimose, either all fertile or 
1 terminal in each interior bundle sterile, petaloid-elongate, 
oppositipetalous, imbricated. Germen sessile; cells 5, alternipeta- 
lous; style erect; apex dilated stigmatiferous, 5-dentate; teeth 
connivent, divergent or patent ; ovules in each cell 2, ascending ; 
micropyle extrorse inferior. Fruit subglose nut-shaped, indehiscent. 
Seeds 1, or few, ascending; albumen fleshy; embryo usually 
curved ; cotyledons widely foliaceous sublobed corrugate, involute 
at margin.—Trees ; hairs simple or stellate ; leaves alternate; often 
oblique, cordate, serrate at base ; stipules 2, lateral; flowers terminal 
on twigs or axillary, subracemose; terminal | ; others lateral, 
bracteate ; inferior bract foliaceous, wing-shaped, rather large, adnate 
to peduncle at middle (47 the northern temp. regions of the Globe).
