'''''Tilia cordata''''' ('''Small-leaved Lime''', occasionally Small-leaved Linden) is a species of ''[[Tilia]]'' native to much of [[Europe]] and western [[Asia]], north to southern [[Great Britain]] (north to about [[Durham]]), central [[Scandinavia]], east to central [[Russia]], and south to central [[Spain]], [[Italy]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Turkey]], and the [[Caucasus]]; in the south of its range it is restricted to high altitudes.<ref name=rushforth>Rushforth, K.

It is a [[deciduous]] [[tree]] growing to 20-38 m tall, with a trunk up to 1-2 m diameter. The [[leaf|leaves]] are alternately arranged, rounded to triangular-ovate, 3-8 cm long and broad, mostly hairless (unlike the related ''[[Tilia platyphyllos]]'') except for small tufts of brown hair in the leaf vein axils - the leaves are distinctively heart-shaped. The small yellow-green [[plant sexuality|hermaphrodite]] [[flower]]s are produced in clusters of five to eleven in early summer with a leafy yellow-green subtending [[bract]], have a rich, heavy scent; the trees are much visited by [[bee]]s. The [[fruit]] is a dry nut-like [[drupe]] 6–7 mm long and 4 mm broad, downy at first becoming smooth at maturity, and (unlike ''T. platyphyllos'') not ribbed.<ref name=rushforth/><ref name=fnwe>Flora of NW Europe: [http://ip30.eti.uva.nl/BIS/flora.php?selected=beschrijving&menuentry=soorten&id=2132 ''Tilia cordata'']</ref> It readily [[Hybrid (biology)|hybridises]] with ''[[Tilia platyphyllos]]''; the hybrid is named ''[[Tilia × europaea]]'' (syn.
