Genus Angelica

Herbs, biennial or perennial . Root often stout, conic or cylindric . Leaves petiolate , petiole sheaths conspicuously inflated ; blade 1-4-pinnate or 1-3-ternate-pinnate. Umbels compound , terminal and lateral ; bracts many or a few, rarely absent; rays many to several; bracteoles many or a few, entire. Calyx teeth obsolete or ovate-triangular. Petals white, rarely pink or dark purple, ovate to obovate , apex incurved . Stylopodium short-conic. Fruit ovoid to orbicular , dorsally compressed ; dorsal ribs filiform , lateral ribs broad- or narrow-winged, separated when mature ; vittae often 1-2 in each furrow, 2-4 on commissure . Seed face plane or slightly concave . Carpophore 2-cleft to base .

Over 90 species: N temperate zone; 45 species (32 endemic) in China.

The classification of Angelica and related genera (Archangelica, Coelopleurum, Czernaevia, Ostericum, etc. ) is complex and controversial, and many species are known only from a few specimens. A comprehensive revision of this large group, including new collections and analyses of DNA sequence data, is needed before any major changes to the traditional classification can be accepted.[1]
