This species very much resembles Viburnum Tinus, but 

 is a taller growing shrub ; the leaves are rolled back at the 

 margin, and sometimes obsoletely crenate ; they are also 

 decurrent on the footstalk. The flowering cymes are 

 altogether without bractes, which in Tinus are fur- 

 nished at the base with very small subulate ones ; gene- 

 rally equalling in number the first branches, and forming 

 an involucrum, but so small that it is hardly conspicuous 

 in dried specimens. In the species Plantarum of Linnaeus, 

 Viburnum Tinus and nudum follow in succession, and the 

 above observation is subjoined to the latter in reference to 

 the preceding species ; but in Willdenow's edition it is 

 negligently applied to scandens, that species, from the 

 arrangement there made, becoming the preceding one. 



Native of Virginia and Carolina, hardy. Flowers in the 

 summer months. Propagated by cuttings. Communi-
