This plate shows *Cornus nuttallii*, the Pacific dogwood, a tree native to the Pacific coast of North America and named for the English naturalist Thomas Nuttall, who botanized in the American West in the early 19th century. Its showy white petal-like parts are bracts, leaf-like structures surrounding the small true flowers. The image is a hand-colored lithograph drawn by M.S. (Matilda Smith), a long-serving artist for *Curtis's Botanical Magazine*, and printed by the London firm Vincent Brooks, Day & Son. It appeared in the 1910 volume of the magazine as plate 8311.
