Dogwood
''Cornus'' is a genus of about 30–60 species of woody plants in the family Cornaceae, commonly known as dogwoods, which can generally be distinguished by their blossoms, berries, and distinctive bark. Most are deciduous trees or shrubs, but a few species are nearly herbaceous perennial subshrubs, and some species are evergreen. Several species have small heads of inconspicuous flowers surrounded by an involucre of large, typically white petal-like bracts, while others have more open clusters of petal-bearing flowers. The various species of dogwood are native throughout much of temperate and boreal Eurasia and North America, with China, Japan, and the southeastern United States being particularly rich in native species. Species include the common dogwood ''Cornus sanguinea'' of Eurasia, the widely cultivated flowering dogwood ''( Cornus florida)'' of eastern North America, the Pacific dogwood ''Cornus nuttallii'' of western North America, the Kousa dogwood '' Cornus ...

Cornus Canadensis
''Cornus canadensis'' is a species of flowering plant in the dogwood family Cornaceae, native to eastern Asia and North America. Common names include Canadian dwarf cornel, Canadian bunchberry, quatre-temps, crackerberry, and creeping dogwood. Unlike its relatives, which are for the most part substantial trees and shrubs, ''C. canadensis'' is a creeping, rhizomatous perennial growing to about tall. Description ''Cornus canadensis'' is a slow-growing herbaceous perennial growing tall, generally forming a carpet-like mat. The above-ground shoots rise from slender creeping rhizomes that are placed deep in the soil, and form clonal colonies under trees. The vertically produced above-ground stems are slender and unbranched. Produced near the terminal node, the leaves are shiny dark green and arranged oppositely on the stem, clustered with six leaves that often seem to be in a whorl because the internodes are compressed. The leaves consist of two types: two larger and four s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cornus Suecica
''Cornus suecica'', the dwarf cornel or bunchberry, is a species of flowering plant in the dogwood family Cornaceae, native to cool temperate and subarctic regions of Europe and Asia, and also locally in extreme northeastern and northwestern North America. Description Dwarf cornel is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial growing to tall, with few pairs of sessile cauline leaves in opposite pairs, long and broad, with 3-5 veins from the base. The flowers are small, dark purple, produced in a tight umbel that is surrounded by four conspicuous white petal-like bracts long. The fruit is a red berry. Habitat and range ''Cornus suecica'' is a plant of heaths, moorland and mountains, often growing beneath taller species such as heather (''Calluna vulgaris''). Its range is nearly circumboreal, but it is absent from the continental centres of Asia and North America. In North America, the species is found in Alaska ( U.S.) and British Columbia (Canada), and also eastern Canada (La ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cornus × Unalaschkensis
''Cornus'' × ''unalaschkensis'' is a species of flowering plant in the Cornaceae, the dogwood family. Common names for the plant include Alaskan bunchberry, western cordilleran bunchberry, or simply western bunchberry. The species is native to the west coast of North America from Alaska to California, as well as Magadan in Russia. In the northwestern United States it is a common plant, even abundant. This is a rhizomatous subshrub with stems up to tall. Leaves are borne in a whorl and are oval in shape and up to long. The leaves are hairless to hairy. Flowers are borne in a cyme inflorescence, but are much smaller than the four white or pinkish bracts surrounding them. These bracts are 1 or 2 cm long; the petals at the center are only about a millimetre long. The fruit is a bright red drupe 6 to 8 mmm in length. Its habitat includes forests and bogs, especially with layers of decaying matter. The taxonomy of this plant is not entirely certain. This particular plant is not a ...
