Question
Hi - I found this plant and think it is an angelica atropurpurea, but I'm not sure as the stems are not purple. This was seen at Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary in Lenox, MA in a very wet lush area, June 16, 2018. Thank you for you help in identifying this! Anne
Answer
Dear Annezoo42, this looks very much like Angelica antropurpurea. Be aware the stems are often green in the early part of the year. The Housatonic River Valley is a place where this species is fairly frequent.
