description
The broad-leaved stone linden is an evergreen shrub up to 5, rarely up to 10 meters high, with slightly downy hairy young shoots. The leaves are opposite and leathery. Juvenile leaves are 2 to 7 inches long and 1 to 4 inches wide, ovate-heart-shaped to egg-lanceolate and more or less serrated or serrated. The age leaves are 1 to 6 inches long and 0.4 to 2 inches wide, with entire margins or finely sawn. The upper side of the leaf is dark green and shiny, the underside light green with hairy central nerve. Seven to eleven pairs of nerves are formed that are at a wide angle to the midrib. The flowers are arranged in small, axillary racemes. The calyx is thin, yellowish, has triangular tips and is cut to about three quarters of the length. The crown is greenish white. The fruits are spherical, 7 to 10 millimeters in size, blue-black when ripe drupes with sloping stylus . The species blooms from March to May.
Distribution and location
The natural distribution area of the broad-leaved stone linden is in North Africa in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia; in Asia in Turkey, in Cyprus, in the Aegean Sea, in Palestine and in the Syria and Lebanon area and in Europe in Greece, Italy, France, Portugal and Spain. It is a character species of the maquis and also grows in light forests on moderately dry to fresh, slightly acidic to alkaline, loamy or sandy-loamy often calcareous, nutrient-rich soils in light to partially shaded locations. The species loves warmth and is only moderately frost hardy.
Systematics and research history
The phillyrea latifolia ( Phillyrea latifolia ) is one of two species of the genus of stone Linden ( Phillyrea ) in the family of Oleaceae (Oleaceae), tribe Oleeae. Carl von Linné scientifically described the species in 1753 . As a separate species under the name Phillyrea laevis Mill. Ex Münchh. or Phillyrea media L. are now assigned to the broad-leaved stone linden, these names are therefore synonyms of the species. R. Govaerts lists around 180 synonyms for this species.
use
The species is rarely used economically.
