Cornaceae |
 | | The Cornaceae is best known for two genera, Cornus, the dogwoods, and Nyssa, the tupelos; the latter is often placed, together with the Dove tree Davidia and the Happy tree Camptotheca, in a separate family, the Nyssaceae. |
 | | Two other genera, Aucuba, or spotted laurel, and Griselinia, are also sometimes placed in their own families, Aucubaceae and Griseliniaceae respectively. |
 | | All members of the family have simple leaves and most are deciduous and have attractive fall foliage, though Aucuba and Griselinia are evergreen. |
