Family Hydrangeaceae

The Hydrangeaceae (hydrangea family) has about nine species in four genera growing outside of cultivation. Many of these are native to the southeastern United States, but have been introduced in northern states and Canada.

Subfamily Cornoideae

Cornus

The genus Cornus (the dogwoods) are here organized by the subgenera used by VASCAN[1] for this genus. The subgenera are further placed into two groups based on the general fruit color, which has been shown to fairly reflect the phylogenic relationship within this genus.[2] ↑ The Database of Vascular Plants of Canada (VASCAN) attributes its organization of Cornus to "FNA Ed. Comm., in prep. e." ↑ Chuanzhu Fan & (Jenny) Qiu-Yun Xiang (2001). "Phylogenetic relationships within Cornus (Cornaceae) based on 26S rDNA sequences." American Journal of Botany 88(6): 1131–1138.

Cornus with blue or white fruit

The dogwood taxa in the clade with blue or white fruit are sometimes placed in the genus Swida Opiz (1838).[1] ↑ "Genus Swida - dogwood." Go Botany. New England Wild Flower Society 2011-2013
