Looks like American Elder (Sambucus canadensis), a plant widely
naturalized in India.

Hi:

I assume this is also American Elder? Seen at Khillinmarg, June 29 2010.
Approx 1m height.

Alpa

Dear Mani ji,

Sambucus (elder or elderberry) is correct, perhaps javanica? German name Holunder

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambucus

Sending some fotos from my garden taken in June 2010.

 

The flowers have a very pleasent smell. Syrup or jelly are made from the flowers. One can also make pakodas, or pancakes using these flowers. Later from the black ripe berries jam or juce is prepared. The ripe berries have lot of C-vitamine. Just over the last weekend I spent quite some time making jelly and syrup, because it is something very special, which we normally don't get in the shops.

 

Regards

Nalini

I think we have mixed up the plants

The first three from Kashmir are Sambucus wightiana. It is a herbaceous plant usually up to 1.2 m in height, and very common on mountain slopes. The plant uploaded by Nabha ji is a cultivated shrub and may be S. canadensis.
