Viburnum
plicatum var. tomentosum, a deciduous bush or a small tree
reaching 6m in height, inhabits a damp forest such as a valley
channel, spreading the branches horizontally. The opposite leaves,
3.7cm in width and 5- 12 cm in length, are oblong, the tip pointed,
and the margin dully serrated. This species bears a corymb on its
branches; the ornamental white flowers surround many tiny bisexual
flowers in the center—the decorative cut is into 5, with one piece
being minor. The fruit (drupe) is oblong, matures red, and turns
black to mature fully. Bloom time: May- June. |
