Dogwood Photos

An introductory page for our selection of stock pictures of dogwoods (plants of the genera Cornus and Dendrobenthamia). Once composed of just the genus Cornus, recent revisions have seen changes in the naming of some species, most notably Cornus capitata becoming Dendrobenthamia capitata. Some authorities suggest dividing the genus into four subgenera that may be given genus status: Cornus, Swida, Chamaepericlymenum and Benthamidia. There are around 40 species of dogwoods and they are shrubs and small trees, mostly deciduous. They occur across the northern hemisphere and are mainly spring-flowering. The best-known types are those in which the flowerheads are surrounded by showy bracts, but others simply have heads composed of masses of tiny flowers. Drupes that may be quite colourful follow the flowers. Some dogwoods also have attractive foliage that colours well in autumn, others have bright winter bark.

Cornus

Cornus is the genus most commonly referred to as Dogwood. Species occur across much of the northern temperate zone and are deciduous.

 
 
 


Dendrobenthamia

The most obvious distinction betwen Dendrobenthamia and Cornus is that the fruit of Dendrobenthamia is a compound drupe, not a single celled fruit.
