This is a shrub that a neighbor has asked me to help identify. She and her husband have continually been cutting it back, and cannot remember if it has ever bloomed (probably because they keep cutting it back!) It has leaves that feel like sandpaper on both the top and back of the leaf. The leaf is 5" long and 2" wide at its widest point. The last 2 photos are scans of the front and back of the leaf, respectively. Have asked a couple of knowledgable friends, and have suggestions for either a Viburnum, or a Philadelphus (mock-orange). Any help is greatly appreciated!

About this Plant ID Gallery
There are many reasons why gardeners--even seasoned ones--need help identifying a plant now and then.

Maybe you knew once, and now you just can't remember.
Luckily, Fine Gardening readers are here to help you ID unknown plants in your garden.
Get help with plant identification--post a photo in our Mystery Plant Gallery now.
