Illustration of Sea-coast Angelica (Angelica lucida)

Sea-coast Angelica is a tall wildflower in the carrot family found on coastal cliffs, beaches, and tundra from Alaska to California and around the North Pacific. Its flat-topped flower clusters are visited by many insects, and the young stems were eaten by indigenous coastal peoples. It provides important nectar in coastal habitats with few other wildflower options.

Habitat
Coastal cliffs, beaches, and subarctic tundra of the Pacific Coast
