Cornus hongkongensis (sometimes called Benthamidia hongkongensis, Dendrobenthamia hongkongensis,[1] or Hong Kong dogwood) is a species of evergreen dogwood native to China, Laos, and Vietnam.[2] It grows to 15 meters in height and blooms in late spring to early summer, exhibiting an abundance of fragrant flowers. Because this species of dogwood also exhibits a range of minor differences in morphology due largely to geographic distribution, it has been divided into a number of subspecies.[2] It has been described as an excellent ornamental tree species.[3]
