Viburnum erosum, a
deciduous shrub with gray-brown bark, inhabits forests in
mountainous regions and branches well to grow thick. Leaves are
opposite, blades measuring 4- 9 cm in length and 2- 4 cm in width,
ovate to oblong-lanceolate, with pointed tips and broadly cuneate to
circular bases, with sharp serrations. Branch ends emerge as 3- 7
cm-long corymbs that bear many small white flowers; peduncles have
dense stellate hairs around them—the flowers 5mm across, cleft in
five, and open flat. The fruit (drupe) is oval-like, circular, 5- 7
mm long, and mature red in September-November. Bloom time:
April-May. |
