"Viburnum" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Viburnum is a genus of about 150-175 species of flowering plants in the honeysuckle family (Caprifoliaceae), native to the Northern Hemisphere. It is commonly known as the "snowball bush" or "guelder-rose".
The term 'viburnum' comes from the Latin name for the shrub, which is derived from the name of a village in Silesia (now Poland).
Vibrissae are specialized hairs found on the face of many mammals, particularly cats, seals, and walruses. They are highly sensitive and are often referred to as whiskers. These hairs help detect objects, measure spatial awareness, and navigate in the dark.
A vicarage is the official residence of a vicar, a priest or clergy member who serves as the head of a parish in the Church of England, or other similar Christian denominations. It is typically a large house or mansion provided free or at a reduced rent by the parish or its church for the vicar to live in, often with outbuildings and gardens.
