Viburnum rhytidophyllum, Hemsl. Evergreen shrub, to 10 ft., with stout upright branches; branchlets densely stellate-tomentose: lvs. 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 1/2 in. long: fls. yellowish white, 1/4 in. across, in terminal cymes 4-8 in. across formed in autumn and expanding the following spring: fr. ovoid, 1/3 in. long, first red, finally changing to shining black. May, June; fr. in Sept., Oct. Cent. and W. China. B.M. 8382. S.T.S. 2:118. G.C. III. 39:418; 42:220. Gn. 78, p. 283. J.H.S. 28:63; 33:187 (fig. 103). R.H. 1911, p. 229. M.D.G. 1912:29. M.D. 1912:201. G. 32:63, 645; 37:228.—One of the most striking viburnums on account of its large evergreen foliage; particularly handsome 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 lvs. suffer more or less in exposed situations.
