Angelica lucida is a species of angelica known by the common names seacoast angelica and sea-watch. It is also one of many species in the celery family which are casually called wild celery.[3]

As its common names suggest, this plant is found most often along the coastline. Its distribution includes the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic coasts of North America,[4][5][6][7] and the Russian Far East.[8] The species can occur far inland in Arctic climates such as Alaska.[9]

Angelica lucida is considered an endangered species in some of the Northeastern United States.

Angelica lucida is generally similar in appearance to other angelicas, with tall, dense umbels of yellowish-white flowers. [10]
