VILLARREAL-QUINTANILLA, José Ángel  e  ESTRADA-CASTILLON, A. Eduardo. A taxonomic revision of the Mexican species of Viburnum (Adoxaceae). Bot. sci [online]. 2014, vol.92, n.4, pp.493-517. ISSN 2007-4476.

A taxonomic revision of the genus Viburnum in México was made. Specimens in Mexican and foreign herbaria were examined. In Mexico there are 20 taxa, 17 species and three varieties. They are mainly distributed in the central and southern areas, some of them reaching the northeastern region. Oaxaca and Chiapas are the states with the largest number of taxa. The following nomenclatural combinations are presented as new: Viburnum acutifolium Benth. var. blandum (C.V.Morton) Villarreal & A.E.Estrada, V. acutifolium Benth. var. lautum (C.V.Morton) Villarreal & A.E.Estrada and V. acutifolium Benth. var. microphyllum (Oerst.) Villarreal & A.E.Estrada. Seven new subsections are proposed: Acutifolia, Discolora, Elata, Hartwegiana, Microcarpa, Prunifolia and Rafinesquiana. A key to identify the taxa, descriptions and maps are included.
