in 1909. Opiz made a generic name Svjda (nomen nudum) for Cornus 

 sanguinca, but Hill (1756), Gaertncr (1789) and Rafinesque (1839) 

 have restricted the generic meaning of Cornvs to denote the groupe 

 of Cornvs sanguinca. The matter has been thus settled, but later in 

 1903, Small took up Svjda again and changing into Svida gave its 

 description in his ' Flora of Southern United States.' I wonder whether 

 this alteration of generic name is necessary.
