Dogwood Family, Cornaceae
treesforme.com Webutation
Flowering dogwood with pink flowers.
In forest settings, Flowering Dogwoods come in a variety of shapes from trees, to shrubs, to almost a sprawling ground cover.
The dogwood family, Cornaceae, contains the genera Cornus (dogwood) and Nyssa (tupelo).

The state distribution maps in the species info boxes below are from the USDA NRCS PLANTS Database at plants.usda.gov.  In instances where state specific maps are unavailable, the US distribution map will be used in its place.  Also, the PLANTS Database website states "Our county data are based primarily on the literature, herbarium specimens, and confirmed observations. However, not all populations have been documented, so some gaps in the distribution shown above may not be real. Remember that only native and naturalized populations are mapped!"
