911902-04 The Angelica archangelica aggregate A. archangelica, A. atropurpurea, A. decurrens
Geography: Amphi-Atlantic - European - Asian.
Notes: In a northern context, we accept four taxa within an Angelica archangelica aggregate: the northeastern North American "atropurpurea", the littoral Atlantic European "litoralis", the northern and central European "archangelica", and the northern and central Siberian "decurrens". Angelica atropurpurea is accepted as a species by nearly all authors. The Eurasian plants are considered either as 2-3 species or as races of A. archangelica. The latter is the approach of Weinert (1973) and Hultén and Fries (1986), whereas we enter "decurrens" as species.
