Elderberry
''Sambucus'' is a genus of between 20 and 30 species of flowering plants in the family Adoxaceae. The various species are commonly referred to as elder, with the flowers as elderflower, and the fruit as elderberry. Description Elders are mostly fast-growing shrubs or small trees (rarely to ) tall, with a few species being herbaceous plants tall. The oppositely arranged leaves are pinnate with 5–9 leaflets (or, rarely, 3 or 11). Each leaf is long, and the leaflets have serrated margins. They bear large clusters of small white or cream-coloured flowers in late spring or early summer; these are followed by clusters of small berries that are green when immature, ripening black, blue-black, or red (rarely yellow or white). Taxonomy The genus name comes from the Ancient Greek word (), an ancient wind instrument, relating to the removal of pith from the twigs to make whistles. The taxonomy of the genus ''Sambucus'' L., originally described by Carl Linnaeus and hence its b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sambucus Nigra
''Sambucus nigra'' is a species complex of flowering plants in the family Viburnaceae native to most of Europe. Common names include elder, elderberry, black elder, European elder, European elderberry, and European black elderberry. It grows in a variety of conditions including both wet and dry fertile soils, primarily in sunny locations. The plant is widely grown as an Ornamental plant, ornamental shrub or small tree. Both the flowers and the berries have a long tradition of culinary use, primarily for Elderflower cordial , cordial and wine. Although the plant is commonly used in dietary supplements and traditional medicine, there is no evidence-based medicine, scientific evidence that it provides any significant health benefit. Description Elderberry is a deciduous shrub or small tree growing to tall and wide, rarely reaching tall. The bark, light gray when young, changes to a coarse gray outer bark with lengthwise furrowing, lenticels prominent. The leaves are arranged ...

Sambucus Canadensis
''Sambucus canadensis'', the American black elderberry, Canada elderberry, or common elderberry, is a North American species of elderberry. Description It is a deciduous suckering shrub growing to tall. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, pinnate with five to nine leaflets, the leaflets around long and 5 cm broad.

Sambucus Cerulea
''Sambucus cerulea'' or ''Sambucus nigra'' subsp. ''cerulea'', with the common names blue elderberry and blue elder, is a coarse textured shrub species of Sambucus, elder in the family Adoxaceae. Description ''Sambucus cerulea'' is a large, deciduous shrub grow to in height and width. It normally grows rather wildly from several stems, which can be heavily pruned (or even cut to the ground) during winter dormancy. The leaves are pinnately divided into 5–9 leaflets. These are commonly long and wide. They are elliptical to lanceolate, sharp-toothed and hairless. The blade extends unequally on the stalk at the base. The white or creamy coloured flowers, occurring May to June, are numerous and form a flat-topped cluster usually about wide. They are umbel-shaped, normally with 4 to 5 rays extending from the base. The flowers have a strong, unpleasant odor. Individual flowers are wide. The fruits given are berry-like drupes. They are juicy, round, and approximately 4–6&n ...

Adoxaceae
Adoxaceae, commonly known as moschatel family, is a small family of flowering plants in the order Dipsacales, now consisting of five genera and about 150–200 species. They are characterised by opposite toothed leaves, small five- or, more rarely, four-petalled flowers in cymose inflorescences, and the fruit being a drupe. They are thus similar to many Cornaceae. In older classifications, this entire family was part of Caprifoliaceae, the honeysuckle family. ''Adoxa'' (moschatel) was the first plant to be moved to this new group. Much later, the genera '' Sambucus'' (elders) and '' Viburnum'' were added after careful morphological analysis and biochemical tests by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. An additional monotypic genus '' Sinadoxa'' has been added based on molecular comparison with ''Adoxa''. Recent sources, including the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website, treat this family as Viburnaceae Raf., ''nom. cons.'' ''Adoxa'' is a small perennial herbaceous plant, flowering ea ...

Subspecies
In Taxonomy (biology), biological classification, subspecies (: subspecies) is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics (Morphology (biology), morphology), but that can successfully interbreed. Not all species have subspecies, but for those that do there must be at least two. Subspecies is abbreviated as subsp. or ssp. and the singular and plural forms are the same ("the subspecies is" or "the subspecies are"). In zoology, under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the subspecies is the only taxonomic rank below that of species that can receive a name. In botany and mycology, under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, other infraspecific name, infraspecific ranks, such as variety (botany), variety, may be named. In bacteriology and virology, under standard International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes, bacterial nomenclature and virus clas ...

Taxonomy
image:Hierarchical clustering diagram.png, 280px, Generalized scheme of taxonomy Taxonomy is a practice and science concerned with classification or categorization. Typically, there are two parts to it: the development of an underlying scheme of classes (a taxonomy) and the allocation of things to the classes (classification). Originally, taxonomy referred only to the Taxonomy (biology), classification of organisms on the basis of shared characteristics. Today it also has a more general sense. It may refer to the classification of things or concepts, as well as to the principles underlying such work. Thus a taxonomy can be used to organize species, documents, videos or anything else. A taxonomy organizes taxonomic units known as "taxa" (singular "taxon"). Many are hierarchy, hierarchies. One function of a taxonomy is to help users more easily find what they are searching for. This may be effected in ways that include a library classification system and a Taxonomy for search e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
