    Action: changed name from "Sambucus nigra ssp. canadensis" to "Sambucus nigra ssp. caerulea "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "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."
