Cornus means horn.
an osier-bed is a river-bed.
stolonifera - carrying 'suckers'.

I'm a big afacionado of the derivation of words. One of my only regrets in life is that I didn't take Latin in high school. Strike that ... one of my many regrets ... But behind every regret is another path taken that would also be a regret otherwise. There's a mass balance of conservation of regrets out there.
