What does LINDEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A tree of the genus Tilia, having heart-shaped leaves and fragrant pale yellow flowers, known in Britain as the lime tree.
The linden is prized both for its shade and for the scent of its flowers, which attract bees in early summer. Its wood is pale, light, and even-grained, which makes it a favourite choice for carving and fine woodwork. In North America the tree is usually called linden, while the very same tree is often called a lime in Britain, unrelated to the citrus fruit of that name.

Common in both everyday and botanical writing, most often for the shade tree planted along streets and in parks.
