location
Adriatic Sea shore, near village Sv. Jakov, island Lošinj (Kvarner bay, Croatia)notes Slo.: nepravi lovor - Habitat: Sea shore maquis, almost flat, calcareous terrain, full sun, elevation 10 m (33 feet); average precipitations ~1.000 mm/year, average temperature 16 deg C, Mediterranean phytogeographical region. Comment: Three species of genus Viburnum grow in Slovenia: Viburnum lantana, Viburnum opulus and Viburnum tinus ssp. tinus. All three have quite similar, small, white to pinkish flowers arranged in large, showy cymes (flat- or round-topped inflorescences) often more than 10 cm in diameter. They are nice and hence widely cultivated. Viburnum tinus ssp. tinus is a Mediterranean plant growing in all countries around the Mediterranean Sea. In Slovenia one can find it only here and there in its south-west Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. On Adriatic islands it is a common shrub, sometimes a small tree. Opposite to other two species it has evergreen, entire, leathery leaves and beautifully metallic-blue stone fruits (drupes), which are poisonous. Ref.: (1) I. Schӧnfelder, P.
