Mundillo (Viburnum opulus)Observ.
pdabellDescripción
The red arrow in the 1st and 4th photos point at what appear to be concave glands and, although the red arrow in the 3rd photo points at what appears to be a rounded gland, that is the same gland as the one pointed at in the 4th photo. That last gland, then, is not completely rounded without any indentation, as would be expected for the petiolar glands of V. opulus var. opulus.
Although I am close to certain that this specimen is var. opulus, I will perhaps only fully know when observing it again next spring or summer.
