  1. false dogwood

    False dogwood is a common name for several unrelated plants including Cornus asperifolia, Cornus controversa, and Cornus obliqua. These species belong to different plant families but are often mistakenly identified as dogwood due to similarities in appearance. They are mostly shrubs or small trees, often found in forest understories, riparian zones, and along roadsides. Like true dogwoods, many species exhibit beautiful flowers and foliage but they are not actual members of the dogwood family (Cornaceae).
