Report an issue with this species
Tilia japonica, also known as Japanese lime or Japanese linden, is native to eastern China and Japan, typically found in mountains up to 2000m. It closely resembles Tilia cordata but can be distinguished by its leaf and flower morphology and 5 staminodes in its inflorescences. This species plays a role in maintaining ectomycorrhizal networks in its native Japanese forest ecosystems.
