Cornus canadensis
From Natural History of Southeast Alaska
Bunchberry (Cornus canadensis): Common in forests, forest edges, and some open areas.
There are many collections in ARCTOS identified as this species. However, strictly speaking, it may be that at least some of the are Western Cordilleran Bunchberry (Cornus unalaschkensis), the hybrid between this species and Bog Bunchberry (Cornus suecica). In the Sitka area, it seems there are very few plants with flower petals that do not have purple on them to at least a certain extent, and it may be similar in other parts of the region.
