'Viburnum recognitum' from the website Trees and Shrubs Online (treesandshrubsonline.
Very closely allied to (and confused, by many authors, with) V. dentatum, but essentially glabrous. Stones of fruits, according to Fernald, globose-ovoid, with a shallow furrow. It is of more northern distribution than V. dentatum. Introduced in the 18th century.None of the species and varieties in this complex group are of much value in British gardens and now rarely seen outside collections. The young shoots that spring from the base are straight and erect, and it was their use by the Indians as arrows that gave rise to the popular name.
