A slender tree, with a large oval crown, slender gray branches,and rough dark bark, reaching a height of 60 and a diameter of 2feet. It has been found as far north as Long Island, and it grows incool, moist situations on the coast of North and South Carolina andGeorgia, in northern Florida, Louisiana, and Texas. It is not acommon tree. In North Carolina, where it reaches a height of 50 to 60 feet, itoccuis on deep, sandy, fertile soil, usually on the margins of swampsor streams, in the coastal plain region. (Fig- 5, p. 43.) In thePiedmont plateau region it occurs rarely, if at all. A large proportion of the seed, which is borne frequently andin abundance, is unproductive, and seedlings are uncommon. Itsprouts very freely from the stump. N. C. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. BULLETIN 6. PLATE LIN OR BASSWOOD LIN. LINDEN. 45 The leaves are covered beneath with a thin, rusty down. Theflowers are smaller than in the preceding species, and the dry glo-bose fruit is small, pubescent, and nsnally one-seeded. The winter-buds, which are covered with a short, fine pubescence, are of adark reddish-brown color. The Southern lin has numerous usuallydeeply seated lateral roots. The wood is similar to that of Tilia americana, of which thistree has been considered a variety. Tilia heterophylla, Ventenat. (lin. LINDEN.) A tree, with slender branches forming a pyramidal head, andfurrowed bark broken into short thin light brown scales, occa-sionally reaching a height of 60 and a diameter of 4 feet.
