Viburnum : 1 post by 1 author.
I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Viburnum Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links. Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details. If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful. Any comments/ corrections are welcome. .

Pl. go through Viburnum page with images of species in efloraofindia (done by me). If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know. Wish you a very happy new year. You are doing wonders, sir. Regarding Viburnum:
1. All the photographs of Viburnum cotinifolium are with seeds and not flowers. Last photograph does not appears to be of this plant. I am sending some more photographs clicked at Solan. 2. In Viburnum mullaha, first photograph is of Hedera nepalensis. Here again, plants have only fruits. Kindly find attached photographs of flowers clicked at Shimla. 3. I am sending photographs of one ornamental species of Viburnum (sp. not known) clicked at Indian Institute of Advanced Studies, Shimla. It flowers in Oct.-Nov. in this climate while other native species flower in March-May. Sorry, Sir. I was not able to devote time for this assignment. Was busy with preparation of manuscript for Kashmir University textbook, which came in the market only yesterday. Attachments (1)
Thanks a lot, … Pl. see if it’s all right now: Viburnum |
