ARNTREE, n. (See quot.)Sc. 1886 Britten and Holland Eng. Plant Names 17:
Arntree. Sambucus nigra, L. — Scotl. Loudon, Arboretum.

[This is a mistake, arising prob. from the fact that eller in w.Sc. seems to have been used both for the elder or bourtree (sambucus nigra) and for the alder or arn (alnus glutinosa).]
