The database has an entry for Cornus mas Spring Glow.
But the cultivar was introduced by Raulston Arboretum as Cornus officinalis Spring Glow.
Raulston Arboretum's site still references the plant as a cultivar of Cornus officinalis, not C. mas.

I think the database entry should be changed to Cornus officinalis Spring Glow.

I've edited the entry to read Cornus officinalis because Raulston says it's from China, and Cornus mas is a European species. I added Cornus mas 'Spring Glow' as an also-sold-as name, however, because Google has so many more results for cornus mas spring glow (530,000) than cornus officinalis spring glow (25,400).
