Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Cornel, Cornelian-cherrynoun
The flower-cup consists of four small rigid leaves, expanded in form of a cross; from the center of which are produced many small yellowish flowers, consisting of four leaves, disposed in form of an umbrella: these flowers are succeeded by fruit, oblong or of a cylindrical form, somewhat like an olive, containing an hard stone, which is divided into two cells, each containing a single seed. The species are ten, of which the cornelian-cherry, or male cornel-tree, is very common, being propagated for its fruit, which, by many people, is preserved to make tarts: it is also used in medicine as an astringent and cooler. There is likewise an officinal preparation of this fruit, called Rob de cornus. Dogberry, or gatten-tree, is very common in hedges, and the fruit of this plant is often brought into the markets, and sold for buckthornberries; but in this fruit is but one stone, and in the buckthorn four. The sassafras sort is a native of America; and its root is much used in England to make a tea, which is greatly commended by some against violent defluxions. Most of the other sorts are brought from America, except what is commonly called the dwarf honeysuckle, which grows wild on the high mountains in the northern counties; but is with difficulty preserved in gardens. Philip Miller
Etymology: cornus, Latin.
On wildings and on strawberries they fed; Cornels and brambleberries gave the rest,
And falling acorns furnish’d out a feast. John Dryden, Ovid.
