  Hello, I'm wondering about the difference between Viburnum oculos and trilobum? I realize that I may of never taken enough notes/photographs of the following species to identify it properly. It was located along the edge of a freshwater marsh in Southwestern, NB.

  Answer

  Dear Danielle88, there are no images attached to your question here, so I won't be able to help you with the identification of a certain plant. If you are having trouble posting images, feel free to email them to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org and I can try to help you. These are all one species, distinguished as two subspecies: one native to Europe (subsp. opulus) and one native to North America (subsp. trilobum). They are only distinguished with confidence by the morphology of the petiole glands (see the distinguishing features listed on the Go Botany website).
