lindens
Heart-leaved shade trees
Lindens are deciduous trees with heart-shaped leaves and fragrant yellowish flowers, common as shade trees in parks and along streets.
The wood is soft and pale, favored by woodcarvers.
Also called basswood in North America and lime in Britain—though unrelated to the citrus fruit.
The lindens along the boulevard were in bloom.
