Canadian Dogwood or Bunchberry - Public domain botanical illustration

One of the most common and beautiful plants of the deeply-wooded [lowland forest]. It is a perennial and grows to a height of 4-6 inches. In the late summer the plant is characterized by bunches of bright red berries which are very attractive and conspicuous. Thus, a second common name - Bunchberry has been given this plant. From the March – June 1938 edition of Mount Rainier National Park Nature Notes
