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.
