S e n t from the foot of Boxhill, toward Dorking, by desire
of Mr. Borrer; the ribbed fruit is added from Woodford,
Essex. Very large trees are found in old plantations
in various parts of Great Britain, but, like Tilia europcea,
scarcely indigenous. T.parvifolia appears to be the only
species really native.
Branches brown, smooth, first year shoots hairy. Leaves
full (foliis amplis), not flat, four or five inches broad, pointed,
