    I found this plant the other day growing in a wet subalpine area on Vancouver Island.
    It's not QAL, it's not Ligusticum grayi, not poison hemlock, cow parsnip or yarrow...

    About a metre tall.

    The best I can narrow it down is to being a water hemlock (either Cicuta maculata or douglasii), or an Angelica - I am guessing genuflexa. I did not handle it to check out the root.

    Are there any Apiaceae experts here? :)
    Thanks so much!!!

    Would like to see the photos if you still haven't figured it out!
