Viburnum phlebotrichumis is a
deciduous shrub with gray-brown barks 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 in diameter, cleft in five, and open
obliquely upwards. Fruit (drupe) is oblong, 5-8mm long, and matures
red in September-November. Bloom time: April-May. |
