--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Shrubs,</b> to 5 m, flowering at 0.7 m; rhizomes present. <b>Stems</b> solitary, 2–10 dm apart; bark gray, brittle, verrucose, frequently forming small plates; branchlets pinkish brown, turning green-maroon, and later gray-maroon, 2 proximal internodes densely pubescent, distal internodes sparsely appressed-hairy; lenticels pale lenticular spots on new growth, uniformly scattered, especially on the distal internodes, protruding and extruding corky tissue on 2d year branches; pith white in 1st year branches, brown in older branches. <b>Leaves</b>: petiole 2–8 mm; blade lanceolate to ovate, 1.5–8 × 0.5–4 cm, base cuneate, apex acuminate to obtuse, abaxial surface pale green, adaxial surface green, turning maroon in full sun, both surfaces with hairs appressed, white to ferruginous; secondary veins 3–4(–5 on some sucker shoots) per side, evenly spaced. <b>Inflorescences</b> usually elongate, sometimes convex or pyramidal, 2.5–5 cm diam., peduncle 20–40 mm; branches and pedicels yellow-green, turning bright red. <b>Flowers</b>: hypanthium appressed-hairy; sepals 0.2–0.5 mm; petals white, 2.3–3 mm. <b>Drupes</b> usually white, occasionally pale blue, oblate-ellipsoid, laterally compressed, 4–8 mm diam.; stone oblate-ellipsoid, 3–6.5 mm diam., smooth, apex rounded to slightly pointed. <b>2n</b> = 22.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Cornus racemosa</i>, much like <i>C. foemina</i> and <i>C. obliqua</i>, has a coronulate or minutely papillate abaxial leaf surface, visible under high magnification. <i>Cornus</i> gracilis may be a hybrid between <i>C. racemosa</i> and <i>C. foemina</i>. Hybrids between <i>C. obliqua</i> and <i>C. racemosa</i> and <i>C. rugosa</i> are discussed under those species.</p>
