Name

The name Liplje is derived from a plural demonym, *Lipľane 'residents of Lipa', itself derived from the common noun lipa 'linden', referring to the local vegetation. Places named after the linden tree are common in Slovenia, with other examples including Lipa , Lipe , Lipje , Lipica , and Lipce . [5]

<i>Tilia platyphyllos</i> species of plant

Tilia platyphyllos is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae (Tiliaceae). It is a deciduous tree, native to much of Europe, including locally in southwestern Great Britain, growing on lime-rich soils. The common names largeleaf linden and large-leaved linden are in standard use throughout the English-speaking world except in the British Isles, where it is widely, but not universally, known as large-leaved lime. The name "lime", possibly a corruption of "line" originally from "lind", has been in use for centuries and also attaches to other species of Tilia. It is not, however, closely related to the lime fruit tree, a species of citrus.
