Tilia Americana Var. Mexicana

Tilia americana var. mexicana is a rare and lesser-known variant of the American basswood tree. Found primarily in the southern United States, it thrives in humid climates with rich, well-drained soils. This plant is characterized by its heart-shaped leaves and clusters of small, fragrant flowers. Despite its beauty, it remains underappreciated and often overlooked in botanical studies. Its unique genetic makeup makes it an important subject for ecological and horticultural research.
