It is widely used in traditional cuisine and folk medicine in numerous countries of Europe and Asia. (cornelian cherry) is a member of the Cornaceae family. Kingdon Ward’s introduction is certainly tender, but worthy of trial in the milder and moister parts of the country. The finest and best known specimen grows in the Temperate House at the Savill Gardens, where it has assumed the aspect of a tree of some tropical rain-forest, with leaves a foot long. However, seed of the Rima dogwood was collected and of the six plants raised, one survived and is the parent of those now in cultivation. A few days later the hillside on which he was camping was thrown into the river by the shock of the earthquake and he barely escaped with his life. Collecting near Rima, where the Tsangpo emerges from the Himalaya, his attention was caught by a dogwood that resembled Cornus mas but was ‘taller, with a smooth, palm-like stem and much larger mops, composed of more numerous flowers, of a luminous sulphur-yellow’. For the late Frank Kingdon Ward, this species always called to memory the great Assam earthquake of 1950. officinalis by the whitish-grey indumentum of the under-surface of the leaves and from both species by its longer, more tapered sepals and the black fruits. The following varieties are in cultivation: 'Aurea Elegantissima' The fruit also used to be made into a rob (syrup) or preserve. It was formerly, if not now, much used on the continent for small articles in domestic use. The wood, although limited in quantity, has considerable value because of its tough, hard, durable nature. The fruit is handsome, but not, in my experience, freely borne. As it is without foliage when in bloom, it is a great advantage if it can be associated with some evergreen, such as holly. It is still one of the most valuable we have. Before the introduction of the Japanese witch hazels the Cornelian cherry was the most effective of yellow-flowering shrubs in bloom as early as February. Native of Europe, cultivated for centuries in Britain. wide, indented at the apex, of good acid flavour.
