Subject: Hybridisation in Viburnum

I am looking for information about hybridisation among cultivated
species of Viburnum, and in particular about hybridisation between
Asiatic and European species. The species of particular interest are
V. lantana, from Europe, and V. rhytidophyllum, from China. I have
hybrid seedlings of which these two species are the parents. Does
anyone else have any record of such a cross? It seems to me most
unusual because one of the parents is deciduous and the other
evergreen. Please email any information, or information about sources
of information, to [email-masked] or post it to Box 43, Hororata,
Central Canterbury, New Zealand.

I have a horticulture degree and worked in the landscape architecture
field for several years.  During that time, I purchased all of the woody
plant material for the company.  I believe that the Mohican cultivar of
Viburnum is the result of such a cross.  My books are all at the office
(I'm at home) so I can't check on it right now to be sure.  But, I will
and will get back to you!

I'm working with an azorean endemic ssp. of Viburnum and any 
bibliographic reference to work already done in the genus would be a 
great help. Please e-mail me if you know about this or where I can 
contact other Viburnum co-workers.

Thanks,

Monica
