|discussion=<p>G. V. Nash (1896b) collected <i>Cornus asperifolia</i> at River Junction, Florida; based on the conflicting reports of fruit colors given by A. W. Chapman (1860) and J. M. Coulter and W. H. Evans (1890) for the two rough-leaved dogwoods (<i>C. asperifolia</i> and <i>C. drummondii</i>), Nash decided to name the rough-leaved dogwood of Florida with blue fruit as <i>C. microcarpa</i>. However, the description by Michaux, even without a reference to fruit color, cannot apply to <i>C. drummondii</i>, because the locality is given as “Carolinae inferioris,” and <i>C. drummondii</i> does not occur in South Carolina.</p>
