Cornus sericea
red osier dogwood
Genus name comes from the Latin word cornus meaning "horn", possibly in reference to the strength and density of the wood. Cornus is also the Latin name for cornelian cherry (Cornus mas). May also be related to the Greek kerasos meaning "cherry".
Specific epithet from Latin means silky in reference to the hairs present on young twigs and upper leaf surfaces.
