Gray'S Angelica (Angelica grayi)

Description

Angelica grayi grows so scattered that even though its thick stalk stands out against many of the smaller plants in its habitats, it is often overlooked. Once it is noticed, it is often mistaken for a dwarf, squat form of Loveroot (to which it is related). It comes into its own with its huge, sparkling, starburst flower. Above timberline Angelica grayi might grow just 6 inches tall but in rich meadows and Aspen woods (and even on scree slopes) it can be two feet tall.
