Tree; Cornelia ; Cornouiller male, Cornes, Corneilles, Fy. ; Kornel Kirsche Hartriegel, Ger. 
Derivation. ‘Vhe name of mas has been applied to this species since the days of Theophrastus ; in all 
probability, because young plants are barren for many years after they show flowers ; these flowers 
being furnished with stamens only. For an opposite reason, the name of Cérnus foe’mina was given 
to C. sanguinea. (See p. 1010.) The name of Cornelian Cherry relates to the beautiful colour of 
the fruit, which resembles that of a cornelian.
