Angelica Cyclocarpa

Angelica cyclocarpa is a unique and lesser-known member of the carrot family, native to the mountainous regions of central Asia. This plant is characterized by its tall, slender stem and large, compound leaves that can reach impressive sizes. It produces small, white flowers arranged in a distinctive circular pattern, giving it its scientific name. While not widely cultivated, it has been used in traditional medicine for its purported health benefits. Its rarity and unusual appearance make it a fascinating subject for botanical study and conservation efforts.
