Tilia henryana
Also called Toothed Chinese Linden
Tilia henryana Szyszyl., commonly known as Henry's lime, is a species of tree native to the Chinese provinces of Anhui, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, and Zhejiang. It was introduced to the West by Ernest Wilson in 1901, and is named after the Irish plantsman and sinologist Augustine Henry, who collected the type specimen in 1888.
The original clone in commerce grew very slowly, but faster-growing clones are now available. The tree performs best in sheltered locations.
