Latin Name:  Angelica anomala
Family:  Umbelliferae
Author:  Lallem.

Known Hazards:  One report says that caution is advised in the use of this plant but it gives no reason[176]. All members of this genus contain furocoumarins, which increase skin sensitivity to sunlight and may cause dermatitis[238].

Mature Height:  1.8   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Damp habitats in C. and N. Japan[58, 200].

Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know how hardy it will be in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors in most parts of this country. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. Requires a deep moist fertile soil in dappled shade or full sun[200]. Plants are reliably perennial if they are prevented from setting seed[200]. There is some confusion over the correct author of the latin name for this species. We have used Lallem. as is found in [58] and [176], but [147] and [218] cite Pallas as the author.
