Cornus nuttallii This tree is also known as Pacific or mountain dogwood. I drew it on Diamond Mountain Road in Calistoga, California, a lovely winding road up a canyon sprinkled with redwoods and Douglas firs, and among the other native trees are scattered occasional dogwoods. The flowers are quite unlike those of the eastern dogwood (Cornus florida), in that they have a varying number of bracts. The western dogwood has as few as three to as many as seven or eight. The eastern dogwood flower has four bracts almost without exception. —Henry Evans
