| As I worked in my yard, I would take any bunchberry growing where I did not want it, and place it where I did. |
| Scientifically, bunchberry is Cornus canadensis while our other friend is Maianthemum canadense, both obviously very patriotic plants, growing right across the country. |
| Faster than a Venus Flytrap snapping shut, the bunchberry dogwood's acceleration is about 800 times the force astronauts go through on take-off. |
| The rapid opening of the bunchberry is thought to enhance cross-pollination in two ways. |
| Flower and leaf resemble those of the dogwood-tree, to which family the bunchberry belongs. |
| American dogwoods include the miner's dogwood, C. sessilis, whose fruits are sweet when fully ripe, and the less flavourful bunchberry, C. canadensis. |
