Description
Although several linden species are known (T. parvi, T. ulmifolia,

large tree commonly growing in central and southern Europe and
Asia Minor. It has thick bark, alternate ovate leaves, white-yel lowish flowers (July), and pubescent capsules. The part used is the

Linden has a characteristic soothing, aromatic flavor and a sweet ish, muclaginous, pleasant, taste.

concrete essence (of experimental production only) have been
reported to contain farnesol.
