''himalaica'' C.B.Clarke, ''Angelica sativa'' Mill.) is a [[biennial plant]] from the umbelliferous family [[Apiaceae]]. Other English names are Holy Ghost, Wild Celery, and Norwegian angelica. People can eat the stem and roots. It looks very similar to some poisonous species (''[[Conium]]'', ''[[Heracleum (plant)|Heracleum]]'', and others). Because of this it is important to know for certain it is garden angelica before eating it. During its first year it only grows leaves. The flowers blossom in July. There are many small flowers that are yellowish or greenish in colour. It grows wild in [[Finland]], [[Sweden]], [[Norway]], [[Denmark]], [[Greenland]], the [[Faroe Islands]] and [[Iceland]], mostly in the northern parts of the countries. From the 10th century on, angelica was grown as a [[vegetable]] and [[medicinal plant]].<ref>http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/a/anegl037.html|{{Dead link|date=January 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Ed Greenwood 1995, Electronic version of A Modern Herbal: The Medicinal, Culinary, Cosmetic and Economic Properties, Cultivation and Folk-Lore of Herbs, Grasses, Fungi, Shrubs & Trees with their Modern Scientific Uses, by Mrs. M.
