Viburnum recognitum Fernald Southern arrowwood
Viburnum recognitum is native to North America, but not common. Identification: Downy arrowwood is a rather large, multiple-stemmed shrub, 5-15' (1.5-4.6 m) tall. Bark is gray and smooth. Branches are longer and less crooked than many viburnums. Leaves grow in opposing pairs, with rounded or heart-shaped bottoms and pointed tips. Leaves have large, sharp-pointed teeth, and are medium green and glossy, with prominent veins. They are as much as 4" (10 cm) × 3" (7.6 cm). Flat-topped flowerheads 4" (10 cm) across contain small white-to-pink flowers. Fruits are ¼-½" (6.3-12 mm) across, light blue to blue-black. See this comparison table showing Viburnums that are presently in our database, or this nicely done Viburnum species guide. Online References:
