| I can't remember if I had already posted this....I found this shrub growing on a steep wooded slope along a creek in southwestern Georgia a couple summers back. All I really remember about it is it was at least a couple feet tall with leaves an inch or two long. It looked like Ilex from a distance, but has opposite leaves. The closest thing I have been able to come up with over the years has been Crossopetalum, but that supposedly only occurs in southern Florida. Any ideas???

| My botanist friend believes it's Viburnum obovatum. |

| Good idea, carol! |

| Hmmm! Well, it does seem to have reddish hairs on the twigs, but I haven't been able to find a picture of V. obovatum with leaf margins as wavy as that. Maybe an effect of growing conditions? Or a regional variety? Still the best ID so far. Thanks! |
