The way that new growths on this plant spurt out of the nodes, set apart by long spans of bare stem (called the internode, I just learned) always struck me as a bit odd-looking.
* There is apparently some disagreement over whether this plant belongs to its own species (Sambucus canadensis) or is a subspecies under another one (Sambucus nigra subspecies canadensis). The U.S. government’s Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) regards S. nigra ssp. canadensis as the accepted name and relegates S. canadensis to synonym status. However, Plants of the World Online (POWO) from the British authority Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew treats S. canadensis as an accepted species and doesn't show any subspecies under S. nigra. A page on iNaturalist explains at length the logic behind using S. canadensis, but it also shows that the site has flipped back and forth on this matter several times. How is a layperson supposed to know?
Adding to the confusion, POWO indicates that Viburnaceae should be this plant’s proper family name, with Adoxaceae as the synonym, yet the accepted taxonomic tree on ITIS shows Adoxaceae. Is this a British vs. American thing? I thought it was all supposed to be in Latin. I can’t tell.

The morphology of almost all grasses can be conceptualized as a hierarchical arrangement of subunits, termed phytomers. Therefore, knowledge of phytomer growth and development serves as a basis to elucidate the rhythm of grass growth. A recent study published in AoB PLANTS by Yang et al. provides systematic analyses of the process of phytomer development of Cleistogenes squarrosa, a perennial C4…
My internet literally can’t even right now. It’s hitting Con too...thank God for that. If I didn’t know he was having issues too, I’d be at a loss. Reece was as well.
Lemme put it this way --- the majority of the internet is off-limits right now. Google, facebook, tumblr’s slow, Youtube’s ehh, Steam disconnects, Skype’s super mega ultra high latency...a few random websites do better than others.
So here’s to hoping the interwebs return to normality tomorrow ;_;
