Description
A. venenosa is a perennial forb/herb of the Apiaceae family native to North America and introduced in Canada. [1] Unusual features of A. venenosa varieties found in dry sandhill communities in the Fall Line Sandhills include basal leaves that lay directly on the ground, small leaflets, and coarse, more equilateral toothing of the leaflets. [2]
Distribution
A. venenosa can be found in the eastern half of the United States, ranging from Oklahoma and Minnesota to Florida and Massachusetts. It has also been introduced in Canada, specifically in Ontario. [1]
Ecology
Habitat
A. venenosa is found in dry forests and woodlands, woodland borders, longleaf pine sandhills, hammocks, and prairies. [2] Additionally, it is found in mesic woodlands, the sandy loam of savanna-like open pinewoods on gentle slopes adjacent to cypress-gum wet area, and shady beech magnolia-hickory-oak woods.[4]
Phenology
A. venenosa has been observed to flower in January and June,[5] but also is noted to flower from May through July.[6]
Herbivory and toxicology
Angelica venenosa has been observed to host seed bugs such as Lygaeus turcicus (family Lygaeidae).[7] This species is a value to beneficial insects by supporting conservation biological control through attracting predatory/parasitoid insects that prey on pest insects.[6]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
A. venenosa is listed as a "special concern" species by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. [1]
