Taxonomy and Etymology

Genus: Cornus, cornus (Latin, noun), meaning 'dogwood', originally referring to Cornus mas. The generic name could also be derived from the Latin noun cornūs (horn, power, strength), in reference to the high strength, density, and hardness of the wood of species in this genus. Commonly known as dogwood, a genus of flowering plants that 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: Cornus florida, flōrida (Latin, adjective), meaning 'blooming, flowery, florid', in reference to the beautiful and many flowers produced by this species.
