Sambucus Flowering Shrub
Sambucus Flowering Shrub
Sambucus Glauca Californica Flowering Shrub
This Elder has its herbaceous parts covered with a thick pubescence; leaves pubescent on both sides, and with yellow flowers produced in umbels.
Sambucus Nigra Flowering Shrub
Common Elder. Bourtry, or Bour tree. Although one of our commonest native trees, the Elder must rank amongst the most ornamental if only for its large compound cymes of white or yellowish-white flowers, and ample bunches of shining black berries. There are, however, several varieties that should be largely cultivated, such as Sambucus nigra foliis aureis (Golden Elder), Sambucus nigra fructu albo (White Fruited), Sambucus nigra laciniata (Cut-leaved Elder), Sambucus nigra argentea (Silver-leaved Elder), Sambucus nigra rotundifolia (Round-leaved Elder), the names of which will be sufficient for the purposes of recognition.
Sambucus Racemosa Flowering Shrub
Scarlet-berried Elder. South Europe and Siberia, 1596.
This is almost a counterpart of our native species, but instead of black
the berries are brilliant scarlet. It is a highly ornamental species,
but it is rather exacting, requiring for its perfect growth a cool and
moist situation. Of this there is a cut-leaved, form, named Sambucus racemosa
serratifolia.
Sambucus Rosaeflora Flowering Shrub
The Rosaeflora is said to be a seedling from Sambucus glauca, but differs in many important points from the parent. It has smooth shoots and branches, ovate-acuminate leaves that are downy beneath, and flowers rose-coloured without and white within. They are produced in short, spike-like clusters, and are almost destitute of smell. The reddish rings at the insertion of the leaves is another distinguishing feature.
For freedom of growth in almost every class of soil, and readiness with
which they may be increased, the more showy kinds of Elder are well
worthy of attention.
