'''''Viburnum'''''  is a [[genus]] of about 150–175 [[species]] of [[flowering plant]]s in the moschatel [[family (botany)|family]], [[Adoxaceae]]. Its current classification is based on [[molecular phylogeny]].<ref name="winkworth">{{Cite journal |doi=10.3732/ajb.92.4.653 |title=Viburnum phylogeny based on combined molecular data: implications for taxonomy and biogeography |year=2005 |author=Winkworth, R.

J. |issue=4 |pmid=21652443 |s2cid=5985489 |doi-access=free|bibcode=2005AmJB...92..653W }}</ref> It was previously included in the [[honeysuckle]] family [[Caprifoliaceae]].<ref name="grin"/>

The member species are [[evergreen]] or [[deciduous]] [[shrub]]s or (in a few cases) small trees native throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere, with a few species extending into tropical [[montane]] regions in South America and southeast Asia. In Africa, the genus is confined to the [[Atlas Mountains]].

==Name==
The generic name ''Viburnum'' originated in [[Latin]], in which it referred to ''[[Viburnum lantana|V.&nbsp;lantana]]''.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zIOvJSJs-IkC |first=Umberto |last=Quattrocchi |title=CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names: Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms, Synonyms, and Etymology |volume=IV R-Z |year=2000 |publisher=Taylor & Francis US |isbn=978-0-8493-2678-3 |page=2793}}</ref><ref>{{L&S|viburnum|ref}}</ref>

==Description==
The [[leaf|leaves]] are [[opposite leaves|opposite]], simple, and entire, toothed or lobed; cool temperate species are [[deciduous]], while most of the warm temperate species are [[evergreen]]. Some species are densely hairy on the shoots and leaves, with star-shaped hairs.

The [[flower]]s are produced in [[corymb]]s 5–15&nbsp;cm across, each flower white to cream or pink, small, 3–5&nbsp;mm across, with five petals, strongly fragrant in some species. The [[gynoecium]] has three connate [[carpel]]s with the [[nectary]] on top of the gynoecium. Some species also have a fringe of large, showy sterile flowers around the perimeter of the corymb to act as a pollinator target.

The [[fruit]] is a spherical, oval, or somewhat flattened [[drupe]], red to purple, blue, or black, and containing a single [[seed]]; some are edible for humans, but many others are mildly [[poison]]ous. The leaves are eaten by the [[larva]]e of many Lepidoptera species.

Many species of viburnum have become popular as [[garden]] or [[landscape]] plants because of their showy flowers and berries, fragrance, and  good autumn colour of some forms. Some popular species, [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]]s, and [[cultivar]]s include:<ref name=rhs>Huxley, A., ed. (1992). ''New RHS Dictionary of Gardening''. Macmillan {{ISBN|0-333-47494-5}}.</ref>
*The [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]] [[Viburnum × bodnantense|''Viburnum'' × ''bodnantense'']] (''V. farreri'' × ''V. grandiflorum'') is particularly popular for its strongly scented pink flowers on the leafless [[deciduous]] shoots in mid- to late winter.
*[[Viburnum × burkwoodii|''Viburnum'' × ''burkwoodii'']] (''V. carlesii'' × ''V. utile'')
*[[Viburnum × carlcephalum|''Viburnum'' × ''carlcephalum'']] (''V. carlesii'' × ''V. macrocephalum'')
*''[[Viburnum carlesii]]'' has round white flowerheads, strong fragrance, dense structure, and reddish leaves in autumn.
*''[[Viburnum davidii]]'' is an evergreen species from China with blue fruit.
*''[[Viburnum dentatum]]'' has flat-topped flowers, bluish fruit, and reddish leaves in autumn. It is somewhat salt-tolerant. The cultivar 'Blue Muffin' is more compact than the species and has fruit that are a deeper blue than the species.
*''[[Viburnum dilatatum]]'' has flat-topped flowers, reddish leaves in autumn, and bright red fruit that persist into winter.
*[[Viburnum × jackii|''Viburnum'' × ''jackii'']] &ndash; Jack's viburnum
*''Viburnum × juddii'' (''V. bitchiuense'' × ''V. carlesii'')
*''[[Viburnum plicatum]]'' has white flowers, textured leaves, reddish-black fruit, and can grow quite large under ideal conditions.  The species can tolerate shade, but not drought.
*''Viburnum × {{not a typo|pragense}}'' (''V. rhytidophyllum'' × ''V. utile'')
*''Viburnum × rhytidophylloides'' (''V. lantana'' × ''V. rhytidophyllum'')popular evergreen shrub, drought resistant. Shiny green leafs, white flowers. 
*''[[Viburnum rhytidophyllum]]'' is a popular [[evergreen]] species, grown mainly for its foliage effect of large, dark green leathery leaves with strongly wrinkled surface. This is the parent species of two popular hybrid cultivars known as 'Alleghany' and '{{not a typo|Pragense}}'. 'Alleghany' was selected from a hybrid between ''V. rhytidophyllum'' and ''V. lantana'' 'Mohican' (in 1958, at the US National Arboretum).
*''[[Viburnum setigerum]]'' has upright, coarse structure and orange to reddish-orange fruit.
*''[[Viburnum sieboldii]]'' has coarse, open structure, flat-topped flowers, reddish-black fruit, and can grow as a small tree.
*''[[Viburnum tinus]]'' is a widely grown garden and landscape shrub.

The cultivars '{{not a typo|Pragense}}'<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/89221/Viburnum-Pragense/Details |title=''Viburnum'' 'Pragense' |publisher=RHS |access-date=5 March 2021}}</ref> and 'Eskimo',<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/96895/Viburnum-Eskimo/Details |title=''Viburnum'' 'Eskimo' |publisher=RHS |access-date=5 March 2021}}</ref> of mixed or uncertain parentage, have won the [[Royal Horticultural Society]]'s [[Award of Garden Merit]].

===Other uses===
In [[prehistory]], the long, straight shoots of some viburnums were used for [[arrow]]-shafts, as those found with [[Ötzi the Iceman]].

The fruit of some species (e.g. ''V. lentago''<ref name=pfaf1>Plants for a future: [http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Viburnum+lentago ''Viburnum lentago'']</ref>) are edible and can be eaten either raw or for making [[jam]], while other species (e.g. ''V. opulus''<ref name=pfaf2>Plants for a future: [http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Viburnum+opulus ''Viburnum opulus'']</ref>) are mildly toxic and can cause vomiting if eaten in quantity.

The [[Bark (botany)|bark]] of some species is used in [[herbal medicine]], as an [[antispasmodic]] and to treat [[asthma]].<ref name=pfaf2/>

In Ukraine, ''[[Viburnum opulus]]'' is an important element of their traditional folk cultures, and ''[[Viburnum opulus]]'' (kalyna) is seen as a national symbol, an emblem for both the [[Koliada]] festivities and the concept of young girl's love and tenderness. It is the key element of the Ukrainian traditional wreath.  A number of folk songs are dedicated to kalyna as well as very popular song "[[Oi u luzi chervona kalyna|Oi u Luzi Chervona Kalina]]".{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}
