Sambucus nigra ssp. canadensis | Sambucus nigra ssp. caerulea (Mexican Elderberry, Blue Elder, Common Elderberry, Elder, Elderberry) |
| S. mexicana is also a synonym of Sambucus nigra ssp. caerulea (Natureserve Explorer). Because of the common name Blue Elder and the previous connection of the botanic term "caerulea" with this image I believe that this change is justified. | ||||
