We claim: 1. A new and distinct cultivar of dogwood tree, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of its dark red, floral bracts and the rather small, compact rounded form of tree which results from the characteristic of branching more densely and profusely than other plants of C. florida var. rubra.
