432 BOTANICAL GAZETTE ‘ [NOVEMBER 
Florida, has broadly ovate, coarsely serrate, thin, acuminate leaves 
cordate or on leading shoots oblique at base, light green above 
and pale or green and covered early in the season on the under sur- 
face with fascicled hairs which soon disappear, so that when the 
flowers open they are glabrous or almost glabrous; they are often 
without tufts of hairs in the axils of the veins, or when these occur 
they are small, but on trees growing west of the Mississippi River 
they are more conspicuous. The flowers are 5—6 cm. long and are 
borne on hoary tomentose pedicels in few-flowered, rather compact, 
pubescent corymbs; in length the pedunculate bract varies from 
6 to 13 cm. and in width from 1.2 to 3.5 cm., and the fruit is sub- 
globose and covered with rusty tomentum. It is a tree with slender, 
glabrous, red-brown or yellow branchlets and small, obtuse, glabrous 
winter buds. 
From western Florida this linden ranges to northern Georgia and to North 
Carolina, through the Gulf states to Texas, and through Arkansas to eastern 
Oklahoma and northern Missouri.
