Korean folk medicine 'Jeob Gol Mog' has been used to cure nephritis, hypoacidity rheumatis, gastrectasis, and fracture of bone. With regard to the botanical origin of 'Jeob Gol Mog', it has been considered to be Sambucus species of Caprifoliaceae, but there has no pharmacognostical confirmation on it. Morphological and anatomical examination of Sambucus stem show that 'Jeob Gol Mog' was the stem of Sambucus sieboldiana var. miquelii and S. williamsii var. coreana.
