Tilia argentea, commonly known as Linden, is a species of tree belonging to the Malvaceae family. It is generally native to Europe and Western Asia. The Linden tree is recognised for both its aesthetic and medicinal values. The leaves of the linden tree are heart-shaped with toothed edges, the upper surface is green and the lower surface is covered with feathers. These leaves contain the tree's distinctive fragrance. Linden flowers, which bloom in summer, are small, yellowish-white in colour and intensely fragrant. These flowers are collected in clusters and are used for aromatic and medicinal purposes. The trunk of the Linden tree is covered with smooth, grey-brown bark. As it ages, the bark forms cracks. The tree can grow up to 20-30 metres tall and forms a broad, spreading crown. The Linden tree prefers moist, well-drained soils and sunny or partially shaded areas. It grows well in temperate climates and can also adapt to the urban environment.
