Plural of cornus; multiple dogwood trees or shrubs of the cornus genus.
From cornus plus the English plural -es. While Latin would use 'cornūs' for both singular and plural, English pluralizes it as 'cornuses' in modern usage.
Ornamental cornuses are planted all over temperate zones for their stunning spring flowers and fall color—some varieties have berries so bright red they look almost artificial, attracting birds from miles away.
