The Broad-leaved Linden, T. macrophylla, is a new variety 
of the basswood, interesting from the exceeding size and luxuriance 
of its foliage. 
The European Linden, T. europa , differs from the American 
in having smaller, darker, and less pointed leaves, and in the more 
globular form of its head. 
The Grape-leaved Linden. T. viti/olia .—This is a new and 
charming variety. The leaves, which are deeply-lobed like those 
of some varieties of grape, are also large, more glossy, and of a 
brighter green than any other variety of linden. The tree is of 
vigorous habit. Young wood bright red. 
The Red-barked Linden, T. rubra , and 
the Golden-barked, T. aurea, the former 
with red and the latter with yellow branches, 
are considered “ peculiarly beautiful in win¬ 
ter, when a few of them, mingled with other 
deciduous trees, make a pleasing variety of 
coloring in the absence of foliage.” Fig. 
121 shows a young tree. 
The White Linden, T. alba , is a native variety, with the under 
side of its leaves downy, giving the foliage a grayish hue, and with 
finer flowers and lighter-colored bark. 
The Weeping White Linden. T. pendula. —Mr. Sargent 
says of it: “ Of very pendulous habit, and the under part of the 
leaf very silvery. We esteem this one of the most, if not the most, 
ornamental of the lindens.” Its pendulous habit is confined almost 
entirely to the tops of the branches and the growing wood. 
The White-leaved European Linden has a peculiar whitish- 
gray tone of foliage that makes it a striking tree to introduce occa¬ 
sionally as a contrast or foil for the more healthy greens. A 
robust tree.
