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,[3][4][5][6] and the Russian Far East.[7] The species can occur far inland in Arctic climates such as Alaska.[8]
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.[9]
