Viburnum phlebotrichumis
is a deciduous shrub with gray-brown bark
inhabiting forests in mountainous regions; it branches well and
grows to as tall as 3 meters. Leaves are opposite, blades being
ovate or oblong-like lanceolate, 4-9cm long, 2-4cm wide, tips
pointed, bases are broadly cuneate or circular, with sharp
serrations on margins. Branch tops give birth to corymbous
inflorescences in which white or red-tinged flowers come. Peduncles
measure 2-3cm long, with a pair of leaves at the bases. Corollas are
6-9mm long, cleft in five, and open obliquely upwards. The fruit
(drupe) is oblong, 5-8mm long, and matures red in
September-November. Bloom time: April-May. |
