Angelica archangelica L. is an important medicinal plant that spreads from south to north in the world. This study aims to give details
on the species’ morphological, anatomical, and palynological properties, and to present the second locality of A. archangelica, which
is known from a single locality in Turkey. Plant materials were collected from Bursa (Uludağ). Micromorphological properties, fruit
cross-section, palynological and anatomical properties were examined with SEM and Light Microscope. In the fruit cross-section, rib
oil duct, vallecular vittae, and commissural vittae were observed. The stem is covered by a single-layered epidermis. The corner
collenchyma cells and secretory ducts were observed in the stem cross-section. An open collateral type of vascular system was observed
in the stem, consisting of sclerenchyma cells, phloem, xylem, and vascular cambium cells. The leaf is bifacial and has a single-layered
epidermis. Anomocytic stomata were located on both leaf surfaces and denser on the lower surface than on the upper surface.
Hypodermis was observed under the epidermis layer. Collenchyma tissue was located between hypodermis cells. Tricolporate pollen
grains were observed. Pollens are perprolate in shape. The exine ornamentation is rugulate.
