'''Adoxaceae''', commonly known as '''moschatel family''',<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://www.forest.go.kr/kna/special/download/English_Names_for_Korean_Native_Plants.pdf|title=English Names for Korean Native Plants|publisher=[[Korea National Arboretum]]|year=2015|isbn=978-89-97450-98-5|location=Pocheon|pages=342|access-date=25 January 2016|via=[[Korea Forest Service]]}}</ref> is a small family of [[flowering plant]]s in the order [[Dipsacales]], now consisting of five genera and about 150–200 species. They are characterised by [[opposite leaves|opposite]] toothed [[leaf|leaves]], small five- or, more rarely, four-petalled [[flower]]s in cymose inflorescences, and the [[fruit]] being a [[drupe]]. They are thus similar to many [[Cornaceae]].
 
 
 
In older classifications, this entire family was part of [[Caprifoliaceae]], the [[honeysuckle]] family.  ''[[Adoxa|Adoxa moschatellina]]'' (Moschatel) was the first plant to be moved to this new group.  Much later, the genera ''[[Sambucus]]'' (elders) and ''[[Viburnum]]'' were added after careful morphological analysis and biochemical tests by the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]].  An additional monotypic genus ''[[Sinadoxa]]'' has been added based on molecular comparison with ''[[Adoxa]]''.
 
 
 
''Adoxa'' is a small perennial [[herbaceous]] plant, flowering early in the spring and dying down to ground level in summer immediately after the berries are mature; the leaves are compound.
 
 
 
The elders are mostly [[shrub]]s, but two species are large herbaceous plants; all have compound leaves. The viburnums are all shrubs, with simple leaves.
