''Sambucus racemosa'' subsp. ''pubens'', the American red elder, is a subspecies of red-berried elder ('' Sambucus racemosa'') native to North America. The inflorescence is a rounded panicle, making the plant easy to distinguish from the more common '' S. canadensis'', which has a more open, flattened corymb. Some authors have considered it to be a separate species. Uses Common name is "American red-berried elder" or "red elderberry". The red berries are an important food source for many birds.

Flora Of Canada
The flora of Canada is quite diverse, due to the wide range of ecoregions and environmental conditions present in Canada. From the warm, temperate broadleaf forests of southern Ontario to the frigid Arctic plains of Northern Canada, from the wet temperate rainforests of the west coast to the arid deserts, badlands and tundra plains, the biodiversity of Canada's plants is extensive. According to environment Canada the nation of Canada hosts approximately 17,000 identified species of trees, flowers, herbs, ferns, mosses and other flora. About 3,322 species of vascular plants are native to Canada, and about 830 additional non-native species are recorded as established outside cultivation there.
