| | Tilia 1675 This species is perhaps the handsomest of all the limes, on account of its shining foliage, which is very late in falling in autumn, and seems to be free from insect and fungoid attacks and from honey dew. | | | In the common lime and allied species, the upper surface of the leaves is fre quently found in summer to be sprinkled over with a viscid saccharine fluid, which is popularly known as honey dew. | | | The literature about honey dew on the lime is extensive. |

| | The lime trees, species of Tilia, are familiar timber trees with sweet-scented, honeyed flowers, which are borne on a common peduncle proceeding from the middle of a long bract. | | | In the ground mass a second generation of small eumorphic augites frequently occurs; more rarely olivine is present also as an ingredient of the matrix. | | | These are: (I) the small-leaved lime, T. parvifolia (or T. cordata), probably wild in woods in England and also wild throughout Europe, except in the extreme south-east, and Russian Asia. |
