It cannot be 'Sambucina"unless it has the characteristic fragrance for which 
the plant was named, the fragrance of the elder, Sambucus.

I don't think that can be 'Sindjkha,' unless it is a really strange photo of 
it, or an atypical bloom. The veining is not correct at the center of the 
blade. 

'Sambucina' and 'Sindjkha' are unlikely to be mistaken for each other because 
of the proportions of the plants. The latter is much larger, so far as I know 
them.
