description_en: Genus of 50 species of herbaceous perennials and biennials, some mono-carpic, mainly from damp woodland, meadows, fens, and streambanks in the N. hemisphere. They are large, architectural plants producing alternate, 2- or 3-pinnate or 2- or 3-ternate, usually diamond-shaped leaves, 30-90cm (12-36in) long. They bear large umbels of small, white, greenish yellow, or purple flowers, followed by flat, ribbed brown fruit. Angelicas are excellent for a large border, as specimens in a woodland setting, or for growing by a pond or stream. A. archangelica also has culinary and medicinal uses, and is suitable for a herb garden.
