Viburnum in Korea includes ten species. The phylogenetic relationships and morphology of the genus Viburnum in general have been studied substantially for the past three decades. A clear understanding of the systematic relationships and an assessment of the level of morphological variation of these plants distributed in Korea are lacking. This study investigated the morphology of these species using herbarium specimens and fresh materials obtained during fieldwork to examine the morphological variation level for a better understanding of each species in the genus. A comparative analysis showed that the species of Viburnum in Korea are easily distinguishable based on various characters of the bud, leaf, extrafloral nectary, inflorescence, corolla, fruit, and stone.

Four known triterpenoids and one sterol glycoside were isolated from Viburnum opulus var. clavescens for. sterile flowers. By the spectral data analysis, we determined to be the structures of isolated compounds as 𝛼-amyrin (1), ursolic aldehyde (2), maslinic acid (3), ursolic acid (4) and 𝛽-sitosterol-3-O-glucoside (5). Among the isolated compounds, we revised ¹³C-NMR chemical shifts of ursolic aldehyde (2) using DEPT and HMBC spectra analysis. 𝛼-Amyrin (1), ursolic aldehyde (2), maslinic acid (3) and 𝛽-sitosterol-3-O-glucoside (5) were isolated for the first time from this plant.
