Viburnum furcatum,
a deciduous shrub of around 6 m in height, inhabits forests in
mountainous regions, branching well to grow thick. The branches are
brown when young and turn purple-brown later. Leaves are opposite;
blades are circular to broad-oval and 6- 20 cm in diameter, tips
pointed, and bases heart-shaped, with margins with small, uneven
serrations. Branch ends emerge 6-14cm-long corymbs that bear many
white flowers; in the center parts of the corymbs gather small
hermaphrodite flowers, around which there come 2- 3 cm across white
ornamental flowers that are cut into five and open flat. Bloom time:
April-June. |
