| Notes: | Label source: This is the root of an umbelliferous plant. Externally it is marked with small transverse ridges. The transverse section shows a central whit spongy meditullium surrounded by a thick bark the liber of which consists of vascular tissue bundl, es arranged in radiating lines with parenchyma tissue between them, a dark resinous circle separating this portion from the meditullium. Another similar circle occurs between the latter and the thin brown epiphloeum. The taste is pungent and the odour lik, e that of wild angelica (A.sylvestris L.) to which plant the serrate leaves also bear some resemblance. | ||||
