Flowers perfect, in dense ovoid or pyramidal clusters 4 - 7 cm wide, at stem ends. Sepals 3 - 5, minute. Corolla round, flat, with 3 - 5 equal lobes, these much longer than the tube. Stamens 5.

The berries of several varieties of elder berry are eaten by birds and bears, and wines and jellies are made by enterprising humans.
