Cornus foemina is a species of flowering plant in the Cornaceae known by the common names stiff dogwood[3] and swamp dogwood.[4][5] It is native to parts of the eastern and southeastern United States.[3]
This plant is a large shrub or small tree up to 15 feet tall with trunks up to 4 inches wide. The bark is smooth or furrowed. The oppositely arranged, deciduous leaves are oval in shape with smooth edges. The inflorescence is a flat-topped cluster of white flowers. The fruit is a blue or purple drupe.[5]
This plant grows in wetlands, often in swampy conditions. It can tolerate moderate amounts of salinity.[5]
