Bunchberry (9070)

 

Bunchberry, also called Dwarf Dogwood, is most often found in areas that are moist and shady. A herb and a member of the Cornaceae Family, it grows by Kiosk 12.  Obviously, a testament to plant evolution, its cousin species is the Western Dogwood.  Like the strawberry, its ancestors were once trees (or vice versa, DNA not yet conclusive).  Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; abundant, native to the Vancouver Region of the Rocky Mountain Floristic Region.
