Mallow. 
Order XVII. TILIACEiE. 
Sep. 4 — 5, aestivation valvate. Pet. 4 — 5. Stam. distinct, in- 
definite ; anth. 2-celled, bursting longitudinally. Glands 4 — 5 
at the base of the petals. Caps. 4 — 10-celled, several seeds in 
each cell or by abortion 1 -celled 1 -seeded. Embryo erect in the

1. Tilia. Sep. 5, deciduous. Pet. 5, with or without a scale

1. Tilia Linn. 
*1. T. europcea (L.) ; /. obliquely cordate glabrous except a 
woolly tuft at the origin of each nerve beneath, peduncles many- 
flowered, fruit nearly smooth coriaceous downy. — E. B. 610. — 
Fl. in a naked cyme springing from a lanceolate leafy bract. 
L. twice the lenyth of their petioles. The staminodium does not 
occur in either of our native species. — In many old plantations. 
T. VII. Common Lime Tree. 
2. T. parvifolia (Ehrh.) ; I. obliquely cordate ylahrous except 
a woolly tuft at the origin of each nerve beneath, peduncles 
many-flowered, fruit any ular thin and brittle. — E. B. 1705. — L. 
usually scarcely longer than their petioles, by which and by its 
thin, not coriaceous fruit it is distinguished from the preceding. 
Lobes of the stigma ultimately spreading horizontally. In woods. 
Probably the only truly native species. T. VIII. ' Small-leaved 
Lime Tree. 
*3. T. grandifolia (Ehrh.) ; I. obliquely cordate downy beneath 
with a woolly tuft at the origin of each nerve beneath, peduncles 
mostly 3-flowered, fruit with 5 prominent ,anyles woody downy 
turbinate. — E. B. S. 2720. — Young shoots hairy. L. longer 
than their petioles. Lobes of the stigma erect. — T. rubra (Lindl. 
Syn.) is stated to have globose and smooth fruit and to be the 
T. corallina Sm. I have not seen it. Reichenbach places it 
in a section in which the bract extends to the base of the pe- 
duncle and refers E. B. S. 2720 to it. That plate represents the 
bract as not extending to the base, but, judging from my speci- 
mens of T. grandifolia, that character is not to be depended upon. 
— In old plantations. T. VI. VII. Broad-leaved Lime Tree. E. I. 
Order XVIII. HYPERICINEiE.
