| | Elder Tree |
 | | Among these last are the Guelder Roses and the Elder, which agree in having regular, or perfectly symmetrical, flowers, mostly small in size, white, or nearly so, in the color of their corollas, and grouped in clusters, or "cymes," that are followed by berry-like fruits. |
 | | The Elder is a tree of such mingled good and evil report, that its commonness in the neighborhood of farms and cottages is probably an example of the victory of utilitarianism over superstition. |
 | | Besides the herbaceous stem, the Danewort is further distinguished from its congener, the Elder, by the possession of distinct ovate, leafy, and saw-edged stipules at the base of its leaves. |
