Cornus suecica
Also called Bunchberry, Eurasian Dwarf Cornel, Dwarf cornel, Swedish Bunchberry, Swedish Dwarf Dogwood, Dwarf Bog Bunchberry, Swedish Cornel
Cornus suecica, the dwarf cornel or bunchberry, is a species of flowering plant in the dogwood family Cornaceae, native to cool temperate and subarctic regions of Europe, Asia, and North America.
Cornus suecica is a plant of heaths, moorland and mountains, often growing beneath taller species such as heather (Calluna vulgaris). Its range is nearly circumboreal, but it is absent from the continental centres of Asia and North America. In North America, the species is found in Alaska (U.S.) and British Columbia (Canada), and also eastern Canada (Labrador, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Quebec), as well as Greenland, but not in the intervening region.
