Angelica japonica is
a robust-growing perennial inhabiting seashore sandy soils; stems
are stout, tinging dark purple, and branches are on the upper parts.
Leaves are also robust, with bi- to tri-pinnate compounds and
pedicles swollen at the bases to grow sheath-like kinds of stuff.
Leaflets are in the shape of egg-shaped oblong, thick, tough,
glossy, and serrated margins. Branch tops emerge compound umbels in
which many small white flowers bloom densely. Involucral bracts at
the bases of petioles are slender. Bloom time: April-June.
