Derivation. According to Vaillant, the word VibGrnum is derived from the Latin word v7eo, to tie; 
on account of the pliability of the branches of some species. Viburna, in the plural, appears to 
have been applied by the ancients to any shrubs that were used for binding or tying.

panulate, or tubular, with a 5-lobed limb. Stamens 5, equal. Stigmas 3,

Derivation. Laurustinus is from /awrus, a laurel, and ¢énus, the Latin name of the plant ; the word 
taurus being added, by old authors, from the supposition that this shrub belonged to the same 
family as the Larus ndbilis, or sweet bay. Lorbeerartiger is laurel-like.
