A GARDEN FLORA 
45 
C. florida, var. pendula. 
„ var. rubra. 
Height 15 feet ; spread of branches 15 feet. A 
very beautiful Comus, with pink bracts to the 
flowers, quite hardy, and one of the most orna- 
mental shrubs in the garden. It flowered but little 
in its smaller stage, but it is now covered with 
blossoms in May. 
C. Kousa. Central China, Corea and Japan. 
Syn. Benthamia japonica. 
Height 10 feet, diameter 12 feet. With rows of 
flowers and bracts standing upright along the 
branches, grows here in partial shade and often 
makes a growth a foot in length in a season. Planted 
in the Wall Garden 1904. 
C. macrophylla. Himalaya. 
Height 15 feet. Planted in the Arboretum 1905. 
C. Mas, var. variegata. Cornelian Cherry. Europe. 
C. Nuttalli. W. North America. 
This, perhaps the handsomest of the Cornels, has 
flowered and fruited well in the Wall Garden here 
for some years. It has been in its present position 
since 1907, and now measures 12 feet high and 12 
feet through. 
C. sanguinea. Common Dogwood. Europe, Britain. 
C. stolonifera. Red Osier Dogwood. N. America. 
„ var. flaviramea. 
COROKIA. Cornaceee. 
C. Cotoneaster. New Zealand. 
This shrub, with its curiously interlaced branches, 
is grown in an open position, and has proved quite 
hardy, requiring no protection in winter. It flowers 
in May, and the fruit ripens to a red berry, which 
remains on the branchlets till the following spring. 
*C. macrocarpa. New Zealand. 
Height 8 feet, width 6 feet. This bushy shrub 
has both flowered and fruited near a south wall, 
where it has been slightly protected during four 
winters, and is now, apparently, quite established. 
The flowers grow in the axils of the leaves, the under 
sideof which is covered withasilvery-whitetomentum. 
**C. virgata. New Zealand.
