<h1>Sambucus</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.023354250368401927;">Sambucus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Adoxaceae.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.008019401476129553;">The various species are commonly called elder or elderberry.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.26031502027326375;">The genus was formerly placed in the honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae, but was reclassified as Adoxaceae due to genetic and morphological comparisons to plants in the genus Adoxa.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 style="opacity:0.11901683057809066;">Description</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.34993223091241904;">The oppositely arranged leaves are pinnate with 5–9 leaflets (or, rarely, 3 or 11).</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.6657790550844742;">Each leaf is 5–30 cm (2–12 in) long, and the leaflets have serrated margins.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.15164144458890563;">They bear large clusters of small white or cream-colored flowers in late spring; these are followed by clusters of small black, blue-black, or red berries (rarely yellow or white).</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3 style="opacity:0.037512192700824155;">Color</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.002234682837227867;">Sambucus fruit is rich in anthocyanidins that combine to give elderberry juice an intense blue-purple coloration that turns reddish on dilution with water.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.04596217339828307;">These pigments are used as colorants in various products, and "elderberry juice color" is listed by the US FDA as allowable in certified organic food products.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.06433972186696155;">In Japan, elderberry juice is listed as an approved "natural color additive" under the Food and Sanitation Law. Fibers can be dyed with elderberry juice (using alum as a mordant) to give a light "elderberry" color.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3 style="opacity:0.005859165534145169;">Toxicity</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.018703350472802083;">Although the cooked berries (pulp and skin) of most species of Sambucus are edible, the uncooked berries and other parts of plants from this genus are poisonous.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.0;">Leaves, twigs, branches, seeds, roots, flowers, and berries of Sambucus plants produce cyanogenic glycosides, which have toxic properties.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.0024907571958084017;">Ingesting a sufficient quantity of cyanogenic glycosides from berry juice, flower tea, or beverages made from fresh leaves, branches, and fruit has been shown to cause illness, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and weakness.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.004068285156595224;">In August 1983, a group of 25 people in Monterey County, California, became suddenly ill by ingesting elderberry juice pressed from fresh, uncooked Sambucus mexicana berries, leaves, and stems.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.004033434845520135;">The density of cyanogenic glycosides is higher in tea made from flowers (or leaves) than from the berries.The seeds of Sambucus callicarpa are reported to be poisonous and may cause vomiting or diarrhea.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 style="opacity:0.3047373240294963;">Taxonomy</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.1435576912325227;">The taxonomy of the genus Sambucus L., originally described by Carl Linnaeus and hence its botanical authority, has been complicated by its wide geographical distribution and morphological diversity.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.4903541107710174;">This has led to overdescription of the species and infraspecific taxa (subspecies, varieties or forms).</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.28030017008494884;">The name comes from the Greek word sambuce, an ancient wind instrument, about the removal of pith from the twigs to make whistles.Species recognized in this genus are:</span>

|
<h2 style="opacity:0.3774205134479782;">Distribution and habitat</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.5170795700859395;">The genus occurs in temperate to subtropical regions of the world.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.7289657600921431;">More widespread in the Northern Hemisphere, its Southern Hemisphere occurrence is restricted to parts of Australasia and South America.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.004931060704500269;">Many species are widely cultivated for their ornamental leaves, flowers, and fruit.</span>

|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.23667717197372362;">Elder commonly grows near farms and homesteads.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.3192589413693254;">It is a nitrogen-dependent plant and thus is generally found near places of organic waste disposal.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.20272560262481226;">Elders are often grown as a hedgerow plant in Britain since they take very fast, can be bent into shape easily, and grow quite profusely, thus having gained the reputation of being 'an instant hedge'.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.632305487285403;">It is not generally affected by soil type or pH level and will virtually grow anywhere sufficient sunlight is available.</span>

<span style="opacity:0.10833689405967695;">Elders are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including brown-tail, buff ermine, dot moth, emperor moth, engrailed moth, swallow-tailed moth and the V-pug.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.021538616933372428;">Ornamental varieties of Sambucus are grown in gardens for their showy flowers, fruits and lacy foliage which support habitat for wildlife.</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="opacity:0.37967191922582566;">Of the many native species, three are used as ornamentals, S.</span>
