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]
