Cornus californica
Identification
Description
(Cornus X calif. see Cornus stolonifera. it is identical, the new name is C. sericea.). If you want to get a headache, seek out McMinn's Illustrated Shrubs of California and look up Cornus. McMinn divided stolonifera into a number of species' and varieties'; unfortunately, the plants in the wild usually have some characteristics of two or more of these. (The hairs under the leaf, short and straight is stoloniflera,long curly or bent is californica, I guess he was seeing something we don't, as every leaf seems to have a spectrum of hairs. Sounds furry.) This is not the big flowering plant that lives in the California Sierras, that is Cornus nuttallii, www.laspilitas.com/plants/219.htm.
