fascicled hairs, the free portion 1.5—2.5 cm. long, the bract sessile, 
gradually narrowed and cuneate at base, rounded at apex, ciliate 
on the margins, pubescent on the midribs, otherwise glabrous, 
8-romm. wide, longer or shorter than the peduncle; sepals 
acuminate, pale pubescent on the outer surface, villose on the inner 
surface along the margins and at the base with long white hairs; 
petals acuminate; staminodia oblong-obovate, rounded at apex. 
Fruit ellipsoidal to depressed-globose, apiculate, covered with pale 
brown tomentum, 6-7 mm. in diameter. 
A tree with slender glabrous branchlets densely coated when they first 
appear with pale pubescence, soon glabrous, light reddish brown during their 
first summer, often bright red during their first winter, becoming purple the 
following year and ultimately light gray-brown. Winter buds ovate, glabrous 
or puberulous, bright red, about 5 mm. long and 2-3 mm. in diameter.

This species, which I only know from one locality, is distinct in its small 
leaves, which are often symmetrical and cuneate at base, and are entirely 
glabrous with the exception of small conspicuous tufts of axillary hairs, in the 
small pedunculate bract, slender branchlets, and minute winter buds. 
TILIA LITTORALIS var. discolor, n.var.—Differing from the type 
in the smaller leaves (7-8 cm. long) glaucous on the lower surface. 
A single tree 17 m. high with a trunk 20 cm. in diameter, leaning over 4 
salt water creek, Colonel’s Island, with trees of the typical form an ee 
conspicuous among the other lindens near by on account of its glaucous leaves,”
