Linden flowers/blossom are/is emollient - or...
I think both are equally OK, one's a little neater (are emollient), but the other seems to be used more - as though to add scientific gravitas or something; I think you use linden more in the US than we do in the UK, so my comment in your other question referred to UK English - no offence intended! Linden sounds a more old-fashioned, poetic name.
