In the language of flowers, the lime tree stands for " marital love", at least that's what it says in the 200-year-old book on the language of flowers:

"Baucis was transformed into a lime tree. The lime tree is therefore the symbol of marital love. If we take a closer look at the trees, plants, flowers and herbs that have been given an allegorical interpretation in the myths of antiquity, we must admire the ingenuity with which they have used the peculiarities of these plants to symbolise the excellent qualities of those who, according to legend, have been transformed into the former. Beauty, charm, gentleness and innocent adornment have always been the qualities and perfections of a tender wife. All these qualities can also be found in the lime tree. Every spring it covers itself with lovely greenery, it spreads sweet odours, its blossoms provide the young bees with the sweetest honey, and women with pliable branches from which they often make artistic works. Everything about this beautiful tree is useful. Its blossoms are used to make sweet-smelling water, and its soft bark is used to make mats, ropes and hats.

How melodiously its beautiful leaves rustle when they are freshly fallen, moved by the breath of the wind! These young leaves seem to be made of a finer shimmering and supple material than the silk in whose lustre they shine. One never tires of looking at the broad shady arches of the lime tree; one always wants to rest under its canopy, listen to its soft murmur, inhale its aromatic scents. The proud chestnut tree and the slender acacia may have tried to dispute the lime tree's prerogative to embellish public squares and walks, but they will never completely supplant it. It will remain the ornament of gardens and forecourts in front of the air castles of the rich, a benefactor of the poor whom it warms and to whom it supplies the wood for tools and even shoes.

At the sight of her, every wife may always remember Baucis, the model of conjugal love, faithful and undemanding frugality.

Baucis once turned Zeus into a lime tree,
Philemon into an oak tree,
So that this faithful couple, united in a small space,
With their roots still lovingly entwine.
In their shade a like-minded pair rest,
That in earthly life's blooming hours
Guiltless love at Hymen's altar
With chains of myrrh firmly bound,
And still revel in his life's goal,
In his youth's most blissful feeling
Even the years have long since disappeared."

在花語中，椴樹代表“婚姻之愛”，至少在200年前的花語書中是這麼說的：

“巴翁西斯被變成了一棵椴樹。因此，椴樹成為了婚姻愛情的象徵。如果我們仔細觀察那些在古代神話中被賦予寓言解釋的樹木、植物、花卉和草本植物，我們必須欽佩他們利用這些植物的特性來象徵那些據傳說被變成前者的人的優秀品質的巧妙。美麗、魅力、溫柔和無辜的裝飾一直是溫柔妻子的品質和完美。所有這些品質也可以在椴樹中找到。每到春天，它都會覆蓋上可愛的綠葉，散發甜美的香氣，它的花朵為年輕的蜜蜂提供最甜的蜂蜜，也為女性提供柔軟的樹枝，她們常用它們製作藝術作品。這棵美麗的樹的一切都是有用的。它的花朵被用來製作香水，它的柔軟樹皮被用來製作墊子、繩索和帽子。

當它們新鮮落下，被風的氣息移動時，它的美麗葉子是多麼悅耳的沙沙聲！這些嫩葉似乎是由比絲綢更細膩、閃亮和柔軟的材料製成，在絲綢的光澤中閃耀。人們永遠不會厭倦看著椴樹寬闊的陰涼拱門；人們總是想在它的樹蔭下休息，聽它的柔和低語，吸入它的芳香。傲慢的栗樹和纖細的合歡樹可能試圖爭奪椴樹裝飾公共廣場和步行道的特權，但它們永遠不會完全取代它。它將繼續是花園和富人空中城堡前院的裝飾，是窮人的恩人，為他們提供取暖的木材，甚至是製作工具和鞋子的木材。

在看到它時，每位妻子都可以永遠記住巴翁西斯，這位婚姻愛情的典範，忠誠和無要求的節儉。

巴翁西斯曾將宙斯變成一棵椴樹，
菲勒蒙變成一棵橡樹，
這樣這對忠誠的夫婦，在一個小空間內團聚，
他們的根還在愛意中緊緊纏繞。
在他們的陰涼下休息的是一對志同道合的伴侶，
在人生盛年的時光裡
在婚姻神壇上無罪的愛
用沒藥的鏈條牢牢綁定，
並仍然沉醉於他生命的目標，
在他青春最幸福的感覺中
即使歲月早已消逝。”
