Tilia henryana Szyszyl., commonly known as Henry's Lime, is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to the provinces of Anhui, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, and Zhejiang in China [1].
Introduced to the West by Ernest Wilson in 1901, the tree grows to 25 m tall, its bark pale grey and fissured. The sea green leaves are cordate, < 10 cm long, with distinctive ciliate margins, and are borne on 3 - 5 cm petioles. The tiny pale, almost white, fragrant flowers appear in clusters of up to 20 in autumn. The tree grows very slowly in cultivation, and performs best in sheltered locations [2].
