Cornus alba
Tatarian dogwood

Opposite and elliptic-ovate, the 1 1/2 to 3"-long leaves are entire

with an acuminate to acute apex. As with other dogwoods, the lateral veins do

not terminate at the margin, but rather curve toward the apex. The leaf surface

has a blistered appearance between veins (bullate) and the leaves are glaucous

below.
