Talk:Viburnum tinus

Question the photo

I question whether the photo is of Viburnum tinus. It doesn't look like the photos here or here. In particular, it is missing the pink buds and flower stems.

I don't currently have access to a camera, but when I can, I'll try uploading another (a better?) photo.

The first image at [1] is definitely atypical, probably one of the pink flowered cultivars. The photo currently shown here has light pink buds. It looks like tinus to me. Imc (talk) 19:13, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Subspecies

The subspp from the Canary Islands and Azores are now usually treated as separate spp (V. rigidum and V. treleasei). I've not seen a living V. treleasei, but V. rigidum is clearly and consistently very different from V. tinus.81.141.241.47 (talk) 14:37, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Leaf life span (LLS)

If this helps: I was looking at this paper and saw that the leaf life span for the Viburnum tinus, Caprifoliaceae is 369 ± 10.7 (days). States: "This study was conducted in Mediterranean old-fields over a 4-yr period on 42 species differing in successional status."

beneficial medicinally?

This article should not make this assertion esp. if one of the symptoms after having consumed it is "stomach upset". One person's "upset" could be another's vomit marathon or worse and since you are not a medical doctor and since you should know that some idiot may eat it you need to take this off the site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.138.88.151 (talk) 07:13, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
