| Distribution | Collected from 4 counties in the Mountains and Piedmont, from 1984-2016. Invasive to the Bog Garden in Greensboro and being eradicated (Diane Laslie email Sept 2022). Photos on the Rare-flora listserve for the Carolinas, by Bryan England in Wake County in 2025. It appears that this species is now (2025) well-established in the north-central and northeastern Piedmont. There are now (2025) many photos from NC on iNaturalist, some likely correct, but not vetted. Not yet reported from the Coastal Plain.

| Identification | Linden Viburnum has broadly elliptical to obovate (or even orbicular) leaves, rapidly narrowed to a drip-tip. The margins are evenly toothed, the surfaces pubescent. The flower clusters are typical of other viburnums -- a broad and domed umbel-like inflorescence of numerous and closely packed white flowers. The fruits are bright red, fading to dull red. | |
