Valery Mal้cot commented that merging Viburnum buddleifolium and V. rhytidophyllum seems inapproriate. On cultivated material, leaf pubescence and venation clearly separate the two taxa. Occurrence of putative hybrids between the two (called V. x rhytidocarpum) is less common than between V. rhytidophyllum and V. lantana.
