Summary Introduction: Angelica archangelica L. (Apiaceae) has a long history of use as a vegetable and medicinal plant. According to the European Pharmacopoeia, the angelica root (Angelica radix) of only one of the sub-species – Angelica archangelica subsp. archangelica (formerly known as Archangelica officinalis) – is used as a source of plant material with documented medicinal properties. Within this species, there are two subspecies that are difficult to classify unambiguously: subsp. archangelica and subsp. litoralis. Objective: The aim of this study was to provide a micromorphological and anatomical description of fruits of A archangelica and identify new diagnostic characters useful in subspecies identification. Methods: A comparative analysis of the sculpture and internal structure of fruits of the distinguished A archangelica taxa was conducted, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: Based on the taxonomic characters in the Apiaceae family, micromorphological and anatomical characteristics of A archangelica fruits were prepared. Some of the investigated characters, e.g. verrucose sculpture of the oil duct surface and the presence of hooked hairs, exhibited intraspecific differences. Among the anatomical characters, the variation was related to the number and size of the paraendocarpic oil ducts as well as to the thickness of dorsal and commissural mesocarp. Conclusion: SEM examination of fruits of A archangelica provided a detailed description of their sculptures and several micromorphological and anatomical characters of potential diagnostic value.

“…Contrary to some authors, who describe some characteristics as useful for Angelica species identification, followed by studies in which even subspecies can be clearly distinguished, [22,31,32], there are also scientists who claim that the genus Angelica has highly variable morphological traits, which leads to difficulty in recognition of both species and infraspecific taxa [21,33,34]. By comparing the native range of the above infraspecies taxa, geographical separation in four areas is noticeable.…”

Garden angelica (Angelica archangelica L.), native to the northern temperate region, is widespread in Europe and Asia. Since the middle ages, it has been used for healing and as a vegetable in traditional dishes. In the modern era, it has been proven that A. archangelica has a complex chemical composition. The main derivatives that contribute to the plant’s biological activities are essential oil and coumarins. In this review, the focus is on the cross-analysis of the taxonomy of A. archangelica, and its distribution in different regions, with the presentation of the richness of its biochemical composition, which overall contributes to the widespread use of the roots of this plant in folk medicine. It belongs to the plants that were introduced to the wider area of Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe; as a medicinal plant, it represents a significant part of the medical flora of many areas. Cluster analysis of pooled data indicates a clear differentiation of chemotypes.

“…Plant A. archangelica possesses several pharmacological activities. In the traditional medicinal system, it has been implicated in the disorders of the digestive system, blood dyscrasias, immunity booster, and as a uterine tonic (Forycka & Buchwald, 2019). Preclinical studies have revealed that it possesses a wide array of pharmacological activities.…”

“…Imperatorin is the major furanocoumarin found in the fruits of the plant. The composition of coumarins varies according to the type of raw material, method of extraction, geographic diversity, extraction conditions, and growing conditions (Forycka & Buchwald, 2019). Coumarins are documented for a variety of pharmacological activities in preclinical investigations, such as analgesic (Kaur et al, 2020a), antiinflammatory activity (Grover & Jachak, 2015), anti‐anxiety activity (Budzynska et al, 2012; Kumar et al, 2013), antioxidative activity (Cao, Zhang, Wang, & He, 2014; Kaur, Garg, et al, 2020a; Kaur, Singh, et al, 2020b), and antiseizure activity (Luszczki et al, 2007; Luszczki, Andres‐Mach, Gleńsk, & Skalicka‐Woźniak, 2010).…”

Plant-derived molecules have enduring usefulness in treating diseases, and herbal drugs have emerged as a vital component of global therapeutic demand. Angelica archangelica L. (A. archangelica), commonly known as garden angelica, is an aromatic food plant used in culinary procedures as a flavoring agent. In the traditional medicine system, it is regarded as an "Angel plant" due to its miraculous curative power. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the plant's taxonomic profile, ethnopharmacology, Phytochemistry, and pharmacological activities. Various in vivo and in vitro experiments have validated that the plant possesses broad pharmacological potential. The biological activities attributed to the plant include anti-anxiety activity, anti-convulsant activity, cognition enhancer, antiviral activity, cholinesterase inhibitory potential, antiinflammatory activity, gastroprotective activity, and radioprotective activity. The beneficial effects of the plant are credited to its bioactive components, that is, coumarins and volatile oils. The review summarizes the pharmacological activities of crude extract and its bioactive fractions and has also explored their target-oriented effects. This review will be of value in undertaking further investigations on the plant with regard to exploring mechanism-based pharmacological approaches on A. archangelica.
