Specimen #283072

Taxon:	Tiliaceae: Tilia cordata Mill. ("Small-leaved Lime") named by Harold Augustus Hyde 18/8/1941
Filed in taxon folder:	Tiliaceae: Tilia cordata Mill. ("Small-leaved Lime")
Collected by:	Rev. Augustin Ley
Locality:	Great Britain, VC42 Breconshire, Craig y Cilau, SO11, 'Cille'
ex herb:	Rev. Augustin Ley
Institution:	University of Birmingham (BIRM)
Image:
fruits/flowers:	mature flowers
notes:	note by H A Hyde: I suggest that this specimen is mis-labelled [Salop etc...2/9/09]. The flowering date of 2 Sept is improbably late. The particulars entered in ink are not in Ley's handwriting but I think in that of the writer of the (green) labels relating to R C R Jordan's specimens from Lympstone (1846). The two words in pencil and in Ley's writing: they should read [Tilia] cordata [Craig] Cille [Breconshire]. T cordata is known to occur in this locality & no other specimens collected there by Ley appears in his herbarium although he visited the place.

Inferred details are marked.

He visited the place almost every June; and spelt it Craig Cille.

Nick, isn't this your second late-flowering lime? I thought they did a 2nd flowering sometimes, but Hyde was Keeper of Botany at NMW and author of 'Welsh Timber Trees' so one must defer to him. Ley did a few sais spellings & this is one of them. D.
