A small genus, with three native and several exotic species, all of northern distribution; is composed of tall and medium trees, of rapid growth, which are ornamental in their rich foliage, turning pale yel- low, in their upright form and roundish outline, and their graceful flower and fruit. They are com- mendable in every respect as street and lawn trees, except that they are some- w^hat late in leafmg out, and are liable to insect depredations. They are adaptive to a variety of soils, not too dry, and even to wet ones; are easily transplanted, and vigorous sprouters from the stump. In winter, the thick, reddish buds and recurved branchlets lend a bright, cheery ap- pearance to the branch system. T. Americana Linn. (334), the common Basswoodj the largest of all, with less compact, open habit, and rounded form, with very large but sparse foliage, forms a satisfactory street tree. T Europaea Linn. (335) (split up into several species) is superior on account of its smaller, more graceful, and denser foliage, more regular,. Fig 114 French Tamarisk. Calhca Lmn. Tamm ix.
