What are the morphological characteristics of the Angelica sinensis plant?
Angelica sinensis is a perennial herb, 0.4-1 m tall. The root is fleshy and conical. After cultivation, most plants branch. In the second year after planting, it sends up a stem; the stem is erect, 1-1.2 m tall, light purple (a few are pale brown). The leaves are 2-3-pinnate compound leaves, with the leaf stalk base forming a sheath that clasps the stem. The terminal compound umbel bears small white flowers. The fruit is an elliptical schizocarp (double achene), splitting into two mericarps when mature. The flowering period is June-July, and the fruiting period is August-September.
