SAMBUCUS L.? 
Sambucus Wightiana Wallich apud Wight & Arnott, Prodr. Fl. 
Ind. Y. 388 (1834). — Walpers, Rep. II. 453 (1843). — Hutchinson in 
Kew Bull. Misc. Inform. XXII. 192 (1909). — Schwerin in Mitt. Deutsch. 
Dendr. Ges. XVIII. 27 (1909). 
Sambucus Wightiana Wallich, Cat. No. 6308 (nomen nudum )(1828). 
Sambucus Ebulus Hooker f. & Thomson in Jour. Linn. Soc. II. 179 (not 
Linnaeus) (1858). — Clarke in Hooker f., Fl. Brit. Ind. III. 2 (1880). — 
Brandis, Indian Trees, 364 (1906). 
Sambucus Gautschii Wettstein in Oestr. Bot. Zeitschr. XL. 230 (1890). 
Western Hupeh: Fang Hsien, moist places, abundant, alt. 1800- 
2700 m., June 16, 1910 (No. 4490; about 1 m. tall, flowers white). 
Western Himalayas: Kishtwar, alt. 2000-3000 m., T. T'homson 
(as S. Ebulus). 
Wilson's specimen agrees exactly with 'Thomson's specimen from Kishtwar; the 
upper leaflets are adnate at the base and decurrent in both specimens. From S. 
adnata Wallich it is easily distinguished by the long-peduncled, leafless and glabrous 
inflorescence and by the coarser more spreading teeth of the leaflets.
