If this is the shrub in question I suggest it could be Viburnum rhytidophyllum. See link: http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=2012 Cheers Dave

  Reply | Contact Welcome Roy. Oh dear the trouble I had to see the images. Even found 2 pics of  very cute monkeys! Yes, definitely Viburnum rhytidopyllum, as Blackstart said. Be very careful it is very hairy and these hairs can cause very bad allergic reaction. https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&pwst=1&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&q=Viburnum+rhytidophyllum,&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&biw=1030&bih=496&wrapid=tlif134545926931210&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=eRQyUIqLFunA0QW6i4DoDA
