About Angelica hendersonii J.M.Coult. & Rose
Angelica hendersonii is a species of angelica commonly called Henderson's angelica. It is native to the west coast of the United States, ranging from Washington to central California, where it grows in coastal sage scrub and other habitats located directly along the immediate coastline. This is a perennial herb with a taproot, that produces a branching, erect stem that reaches heights between roughly 1 and 2 meters. Its basal leaves are composed of oval-shaped leaflets, each up to 10 centimeters long, with toothed edges and white woolly textures on their undersides. Its woolly inflorescences are compound umbels that can have up to 60 rays, which hold clusters of fuzzy flowers. After flowering, the plant produces fruits: these are paired structures that are nearly a centimeter long, and each holds one seed.
