SAMBUCUS L. 



Sambucus canadensis L. Elder. 



Sambucus canadensis Linnaeus, Sp. PI. 269. 1753 [Canada]. — Knieskern 16. — 

 Britten 121. 



Common in rich soil in open places throughout the Northern, 

 Middle and Coast districts, and occasional on the Cape May 

 peninsula. The only record from the Pine Barrens seems to 

 be based upon an introduced plant, and it is quite likely that there 

 are other similar occurrences. The Elder is, however, certainly 

 not a native of the "Pines," although it may intrude along some 

 of the larger streams, spreading up from the coast. 



Fl. — Early June to early July. Fr. — Late July to late August, 

 sporadically into September.
