Sambucus pubens
Sambucus pubens, the American red elder, is a species of elder (Sambucus) native to eastern North America.[2] The inflorescence is a rounded panicle, making the plant easy to distinguish from the more common S. canadensis, which has a more open, flattened corymb. Some authors have considered S. pubens to be conspecific with S. racemosa L.
