 A.F. 16:1547. G. 1:61; 35:381 (as V. mocro- 

 phyllum). A very showy variety, but less 

 hardy than the type. 



13. rhytidophyllum, Hemsl. Evergreen shrub, to 10 

 ft., with stout upright branches; branchlets densely 

 stellate-tomentose: Ivs. thick, ovate-oblong to oblong- 

 lanceolate, acute or obtuse, rounded or subcordate at 

 the base, dark green, glabrous and lustrous and deeply 

 wrinkled above, covered with a thick gray or yellowish 

 tomentum beneath and reticulate, entire or indistinctly 

 denticulate, 3-7% in. long: fls. yellowish white, 

 across, in terminal cymes 4-8 in. across formed in 

 autumn and expanding the following spring: fr. ovoid, 

 J^jin. long, first red, finally changing to shining black.

 645; 37:228. One of the most striking viburnums on 

 account of its large evergreen foliage; particularly hand- 

 some in autumn with its large clusters of fr. changing 

 from red to shining black. It has proved fairly hardy 

 at the Arnold Arboretum, and in W. N. Y., though the 

 Ivs. suffer more or less in exposed situations. 



14. Carlesii, Hemsl. Much-branched spreading shrub, 

 to 4 ft.: young branchlets stellate-tomentose: Ivs. 

 broadly ovate or oval, acute, usually rounded at the 

 base, irregularly toothed, dull green and pubescent 

 above, pale and stellate-tomentose beneath, 1-3 Yi in. 

 long; petiole ^-J^in. long: fls. salver-shaped, about 

 J/in. long and the fimb about as much across, changing 

 from pinkish to white, fragrant, in dense terminal sub- 

 globose cymes 2-3 in. across, appearing with the Ivs.; 

 stamens included, inserted about the middle; filaments 

 snorter than anthers. April, May. Korea. B.M. 8114.

 1907:380; 1912:493. M.D. 1912, p. 196. One of the 

 most charming viburnums, opening its deliciously fra- 

 grant pink-and-white fls. early in spring with the 

 unfolding Ivs.; it has proved hardy at the Arnold 

 Arboretum. A closely related species which has been

 (XH) 



confused with V. Carlesii is V. bitchuiense, Makino. A 

 slenderer, more straggling shrub: Ivs. smaller, usually 

 obtuse and often subcordate: fls. in smaller cymes; 

 anthers inserted near the base; filaments longer than 

 anthers. Japan. Less handsome than V. Carlesii. 



15. Lantana, Linn. WAYFARING TREE. Upright 

 shrub or sometimes small tree, attaining 20 ft.: young

 cially for drier situations and limestone soil. Var. 

 rugdsum, Hort. With larger and very wrinkled Ivs. 

 and larger cymes. There are a number of other varie- 

 ties, including some with variegated Ivs. 



16. cotinifolium, D. Don (V. multratum, C. Koch). 

 Shrub, attaining 6 ft., with spreading branches, tomen- 

 tose when young: Ivs. orbicular-ovate to ovate, cor-

 dentate or almost entire, wrinkled above and nearly gla- 

 brous at length, tomentose beneath, 2-5 in. long: fls.
