About

Angelica pachycarpa, the Portuguese angelica, is a herbaceous perennial plant native to north western Spain and western Portugal, and naturalised in New Zealand. It inhabits forests, grasslands and stream sides and is occasionally grown as an ornamental garden subject for its glossy foliage and umbels of white flowers.

Where it grows

It is present in coastal regions of north western Spain from Santander west to the Portugal-Spain border and has a disjunct population in the Berlengas archipelago off central-western Portugal.
