Viburnum rigidum

Higher Taxonomy

Family: Viburnaceae

Common Name: MUSKROOT FAMILY
Habit: [Perennial herb], subshrub to tree; hairs often stellate or glandular. Leaf: generally opposite, simple or compound, generally toothed; stipules generally 0. Flower: generally bisexual; calyx teeth or lobes [2]5; corolla small, radial, rotate, lobes [3--4]5; stamens [4]5, epipetalous; ovary +- inferior, chambers 1 or 3--5, 1-ovuled; styles +- 0 or 3--5. Fruit: drupe.
Genera In Family: 5 genera, 200 species: especially northern temperate, also South America, southeastern Asia, tropical Africa. Note: Incl in Caprifoliaceae in TJM (1993), and possibly in future. Viburnaceae adopted as a conserved name in 2016 [Taxon 65(4):878--879, August 2016], so must be used instead of Adoxaceae for all taxa previously said to belong to Adoxaceae.

Viburnum rigidum Vent.

NATURALIZED
Leaf: petiole 5--15(20) mm, without glands, with many nonglandular hairs throughout; blade 3--10 cm, ovate-lanceolate to -round, unlobed, entire. Inflorescence: 4--9 cm; all flowers +- alike, fertile. Flower: 5--9 mm diam. Fruit: 6--8 mm, subspheric, dark blue.
Ecology: Mixed forest; Elevation: +- 250 m. Bioregional Distribution: SnFrB (Tilden Park); Distribution Outside California: native to s Europe. Flowering Time: Oct Note: Distinct from Viburnum tinus L. based on chloroplast tree (Clement et al., 2014); reported in TJM (2012) as possibly naturalized in Tilden Park, based on plants in flower in October 2001 (Ertter 17810) that were said on collection label to be "lax" and "occasional" and observed by Rosatti in October 2014 to be lax, yet not in flower and in greater numbers than might be suggested by "occasional".

(Note: any qualifiers in the taxon distribution description, such as 'northern', 'southern', 'adjacent' etc., are not reflected in the map above, and in some cases indication of a taxon in a subdivision is based on a single collection or author-verified occurence).	Data provided by the participants of the Consortium of California Herbaria. MAP LEGEND View all CCH records All markers link to CCH specimen records. The original determination is shown in the popup window. Blue markers indicate specimens that map to one of the expected Jepson geographic subdivisions (see left map). Purple markers indicate specimens collected from a garden, greenhouse, or other non-wild location. Yellow markers indicate records that may provide evidence for eFlora range revision or may have georeferencing or identification issues. READ ABOUT YELLOW FLAGS CCH collections by month Duplicates counted once; synonyms included. Species do not include records of infraspecific taxa, if there are more than 1 infraspecific taxon in CA. Blue line denotes eFlora flowering time (fruiting time in some monocot genera).
