Viburnum cinnamomifolium

Inflorescences of Viburnum cinnamomifolium are much larger and more lax than those of V. davidii. The photographer's garden, Oisquercq, Belgium. 15 May 2021. Image Guillaume Mamdy.

Very similar to V. davidii, with the same conspicuously three-veined leaves, but it is a bigger shrub, or sometimes a tree 20 ft high; its inflorescence is much larger and more lax, its almost entire leaves are not so thick, and its fruits smaller. There is a plant about 15 ft high and wide on a garden wall at Borde Hill in Sussex, which is perfectly hardy. Wilson discovered this species on Mt Omei in W. Szechwan.
