Angelica is a genus of the Umbilliferous family Apiaceae, with about 50 species. Some members are grown as a flavoring agent and for their medicinal properties. The most notable of these is Garden Angelica (Angelica archangelica) which is commonly known just as Angelica.

Sea watch or Seacoast Angelica, Angelica lucida, has been eaten as a sort of "wild celery".
