VIBURNUM TOMENTOSUM. 



The beautiful shrub generally known 

 as Viburnum plicatum is really a variety 

 of this species. In its typical state V. 

 tomentosum has a flat, umbellate inflor- 

 escence, the centre flowers of which are 

 small and structurally perfect; whilst 

 those on the margin are large and imper- 

 fect — i. e., they have no stamens or pistil. 

 In the variety plicatum all the flowers are 

 of this showy sterile kind, and the in- 

 florescence becomes more rounded in 

 form, resembling that of the common 

 "snowball tree," V. opulus sterilis. In- 

 troduced from Japan by Fortune about 

 fifty-five years ago, twenty years in ad- 

 vance of its parent type, V. plicatum has 

 always been the better known plant of 

 the two. Had one to choose between 

 them, preference would perhaps be given 

 to this one; but as there is no such ne- 

 cessity, one may well grow both, for 

 they are not only very beautiful, but 

 are more distinct from each other than 

 many separate species are. 



This season V. tomentosum has been 

 particularly fine. Its branches have the 

 same stiff, horizontal pose so charac- 

 teristic of v. plicatum, and they bear 

 the flowers (which are white) in similar 

 double rows of corymbs, each about 4 

 inches across. J. Veitch & Sons have 

 recently distributed a form of V. tomen- 

 tosum with an inflorescence similar to 

 that of the type but even finer; they 

 have named it Mariesiiy — Gardeners' 

 Chronicle.
