very nice to see asian lindens… which by the way are supposed to be more varieties than northwestern hemisphers…
wonder how many do we have in the himalayas… <\/p>\n

\n

A European plant … I have seen a single cultivated tree in Kashmir (seeing it since 1970) grown in Kashmir Arts Emporium Garden in Srinagar, which interestingly has several interesting plants grown since a long time <\/p>\n

\n

flowers\/ fruits give the appearence of fig\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

They remind more of a fossil group Glossopteridae which was common in Jurassic along with Dinosaurs and perished at the same time, having its inflorescence attached to the petiole of leaf, a structure known as
gonophyll, which at least one author (Melville) thought gave rise to angiosperms. The fossils of this group are met in all present day splits of original Gondwana land of which India was once a part. <\/p>\n
