A fruiting brant-h, x J. 4. A winter twig, x J. 5. Section of a winter twig, enlarged. 209 WHITE BASSWOOD Tilia heterophylla, Ventcnat FORlt—Usually 50-00 ft. high but may reach a height of 90 ft. with a diameter of 4i feet. It becomes as thick but not so high as the Common Basswood. Tnnik .straight, clean, slightly tapering. Crown dense, broad, rather rounded. BABK—Similar to that of the conwiion BasKwood, page 208. TWIGS—Similar to those of the common Basswood, page 208. BUDS—Similar to these of the common Basswood, page 208. LEAVES—Alternate, simple, variable in outline, oblong-ovate to orbicular-ovate, 5-8 inches long. Arm in texture, short taper-pointed at aix-x, deeply toothed on margin with sharp teeth, unequally heart-shaped to truncate at base; upper surface dark green and smooth, lower surfaee silvery-white and finely hairy. Leaf-stalk slender, i length of blade. The side of the leaf nearest the branch is the largest. LEAF-SCARS—Similar to those of the common Basswood, page 208. FLOWERS—^Appear about June or July. Perfect, regular, sweet, fragrant, yellowish-white, 5-15 in drooping cymose clusters. The long peduncle which bears the flowers is united for about half its length with a conspicuou.&gt;? green bract.

WOOD—Similar to that of the common Basswood, page 208, only about 2 pounds lighter. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS—The White Bassrwood. also known as White Linden, has the general characteristics of the common Basswood, page 208. rt can be distinguished from the latter by its leaves which are slightly larger, silvery-white and finely hairy on the lower surface, while those of the B«sswood are green and smooth. The common Basswood also reaches u somewhat larger size and has a wider distribution in this State, than the White Basswootl. RANGE—New York to Florida, Avestward to Illinois, Tennessee, and Alabama. DISTRIBUTION IN PENNSYLVANIA—Occurs locally in the mountainous parts, and a few ad- ditional outposts. Found in Franklin, Huntingdon, Sustiuehanna, and Washington counties. HABITAT—^Usually found in rich woods in mountainous regions. Tolerates dense sliade, but thriveti in fqll light. Occurs In nwxture with otlier hardwoods. Common on limestone soil. IMPORTANCE OF THE SPECIES—White Basswood is of little commercial importance in this State on acox)unt of its limited distribution. Farther south It is more abundant, being the pre- vailing BassAvood of West Virginia. It is one of our most attractive ornamental trees.
