History., Use, Propagation, Culture, 
1185. Grewia. So named by Linnaeus, in honor of Nehemiah Grew, M. D , F. R. S., famous for his work on 
the Anatomy of Vegetables. The species are shrubs with elm-looking leaves, generally deciduous, and of 
no great beavity. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass in heat. Some of the kinds produce a sort of 
berry which is esteemed by the natives of the country where they grow. 
1186. Tilia. A name the meaning of which is unexplained. Tilleul, Fr., Linden, Ger., and TigUo, Ital. 
The species are graceful trees with highly odoriferous flowers, all the soft parts abounding in mucilage. 
T. intermedia is wild in Sweden, and will in some degree bear the smoke of London. It is a favorite 
avenue tree in Holland and Germany, and at Evelyn's suggestions (Sylva) was a good deal employed in 
this way in England. He describes some enormous lime trees in Switzerland, Germany, and Hungary, and 
speaks of its esteem in these countries, and by the Romans. " It is a shameful negligence," he says, " that 
we are no better provided of nurseries, for a tree so choice and universally acceptable :" for in his time they 
sent into Holland and Flanders, to our excessive cost, whilst our own woods spontaneously produce 
them, and though of somewhat a smaller leaf, yet altogether as good, apt to be civilized, and made more 
florid. 
Lime-tree wood is turned into light bowls and dishes, and into boxes for the apothecaries. With the twigs 
they make baskets and cradles. Formerly the bark was used for writing tablets. Shoemakers make dressers 
of the plank to cut leather on. The truncheons make a far better coal for gunpowder than that of alder 
itself, and also scriblets for painters' first draughts. The wood is soft, light, and smooth, close grained, and 
not subject to the worm. The most elegant use to which it is applied is for carving. Many of Gibbon's 
beautiful works in lime-tree are dispersed about the kingdom in our churches and palaces ; as in the choir of 
St. Paul's, the Duke of Devonshire's at Chatsworth. Trinity College Library at Cambridge, &c. Evelyn first 
recommended him to King Charles II. The sap inspissated affords a quantity of sugar. Boutcher remarks, 
that the timber is stronger and lighter than any sort of willow ; and makes a proper lining for rooms, and when 
painted will last long. 
In Lincolnshire, in the forest of Dean, and in various parts of the borders of South Wales they make 
ropes of the bark. This, by maceration, separates into thin rough layers, and is used for making the mats 
used by gardeners, and called in the north of Europe bast. They form a considerable part of the exports 
from Russia. This quahty in the bark, and a great degree of viscidity in the whole tree, evince its acknow- 
ledged affinity to the mallow tribe.
