. Bulletin. Natural history; Natural history. 264 Illinois Natikal History Siiivfa' Billktin CORNUS ALTERNIFOLIA Lixxaeus Dogwood The Dogwood is a very small tree, with a dense, flat-topped crown of slender, spreading hranches. Tiie thin, hright yellow-green, pointed leaves, mostly alternate on the hranchlets and 3 to 5 inches long by 2 to 3 inches wide, are pale, hairy, and sometimes nearly white beneath and stand on slender, hairy petioles nearly 2 inches long. The small, creamy- white flowers stand in loose, branched heads on the tips of lateral branchlets. The loose, spreading, red-stemmed clusters of globular, dark-blue fruits ripen in October, each fruit being somewhat less than ^ inch in di- ameter, with thin, bitter flesh and a thick-walled, many-grooved pit con- taining 1 or 2 curved, pale seeds. The light-green to brownish twigs bear sharply pointed, chestnut-brown buds above the raised, moon-shaped leaf- scars. The trunk, clothed with thin, reddish-brown bark which is smooth or shallowly fissured and ridged, sel- dom becomes more than (i inches thick ; and the tree, though arborescent in form, is usuallv only about 20 feet tall. Disfrlbiitioii: From Nova Scotia westward to Minnesota and southward to Florida, the Dogwood inhabits the rich soils of the forest edge, stream borders, and swampy swales. In Illinois it is distinctly northern in its range, reaching only as far south as Vermilion, Champaign, and Mason counties. It is particularly common in the lake-shore woods of ovu' northeastern counties, where it grows as a member of the elm-maple association. Uses: The heavy, red-tinted, brown wood of the Dogwood is both hard and close-grained. In its technical qualities it is comparable to the wood of the Flowering Dogwood and, like it, is used to some extent in the manufacture of small wooden articles. It also yields charcoal. The tree, however, is so small that it cannot be called profitable.. Fic.lOS Distribution Dogwood.. Please note that these images are
