Formal Taxonomy
Plantae - Anthophyta - Dicotyledoneae - Dipsacales - Caprifoliaceae - Sambucus - Plants fomerly treated by Kartesz (1994) as Sambucus cerulea with varieties neomexicana and velutina, are here, following Kartesz (1999) all treated as S. nigra ssp. caerulea with no varietal distinctions. It is not clear why the 1994 checklist used the spelling 'cerulea' - the 1999 list uses Sambucus caerulea Raf. as a synonym of S. nigra ssp. caerulea.
