Angelica Sachalinensis Var. Kawakamii

Angelica sachalinensis var. kawakamii is a rare and lesser-known member of the Apiaceae family native to the mountainous regions of northern Japan. This variant is distinguished by its strikingly large, umbrella-shaped compound leaves and clusters of small, white flowers that bloom in late summer. It thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found in shaded forest habitats. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species. Its unique appearance and ecological significance make it a fascinating subject for botanical study and conservation efforts.
