Thanks, Chadwell ji. However, Catalogue of Life <http://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/4e1997f34afce0198308e25b38af581f> gives *Viburnum foetens *Decne. as an accepted name, although The Plant List Ver. 1.1 <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/tro-6000886> (based on Tropicos <http://www.tropicos.org/Name/6000886>) & Flora of Pakistan give it as a syn. of *Viburnum* *grandiflorum* Wall. ex DC.
