N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

I have failed to find the name given by Ley, but apparently an old name for C florida was 'American Dogwood'.
Only C alba and C sanguineus are on VCCC.
