Kindly help with species identification:
Genus: Viburnum
Cultivated/Ornamental
Habit: Small shrub (nearly 1 m tall)
Place: Indian Institute of Advanced Studies
Nov., 2013

Nice one. Could it be Viburnum tinus?

Yesterday got a mail regarding Viburnum page on efloraindia. Thought of sharing from my collection especially those photographs which can be inserted on this page.
Compared this ornamental species with all available on this page. Not
matching with any species including V. tinus. The nearest to me on
this page is V. suspensum.

Viburnum × burkwoodii  ??

It is matching perfectly with Viburnum suspensum.

Bush For ID : Kenya : 14OCT16 : AK-18 : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (5)
Pictures taken in Nairobi in the first week of July.
Looks like Viburnum Species to me.

Surprisingly there is no distribution of Viburnum species in Kenya. Only option is introduced and not yet recorded.

I guess this is Viburnum tinus L. and introduced to Kenya !

Viburnum tinus L. ??

Yes, Viburnum tinus.

Flowers are pure white… therefore it is likely to be Viburnum tinus French White.
All others have pink in buds or petals.

07102011-BS-1 A shrub for id from Shimla:
Kindly id this shrub shot from shimla (2200 mts) on 20-11-2010
it was with white flowers and leaves hairy beneath

Looks like a Viburnum species…

Yes … I also thought of Viburnum, but leaves don’t match with any Himalayan species that I know.

Is it cultivated ? Please check Viburnum tinus L..

Yes, possible if planted as per images at

Shrub for identification 070612MK01:
Please help me to identify this shrub. I taken these at University of Cambridge, UK on 28 March 2011. I am sending this request after seeing Balkerji’s Simla plant post at efi thread.
Are these similar plants? 

Considering the flowers :
are more like those of cockspur hawthorn…
hopefully Crataegeus cris-galli …
shiny leaves … seem to match what I remember
wish I could have seen the complete outline / edge of the leaves…

The stem is hairy and the leaves are not serrated and are thick, unlike Crataegeus� cris-galli.
I think it is some sort of Schneeball (Viburnum), could it be Lorbeerbl�ttrige Schneeball (Viburnum tinus)? Wild guess.

Please check Viburnum tinus L.
