I have sent you a few mails with a scan from the book: Flowers of the Bhyundar valley and the photographs that I have clicked. May be I am confused? I am as it very confused regarding the plants. As I have already informed you, I am only aware on the plants that grow largely on the plains, have seeds with higher Galactose : Mannose ratio and are abundantly available. These all flowering, mountain plants are new for me. Maybe I made a mistake and I am not even sure about it.

well, you see - that is why I asked so sceptical!
because that is NOT an angelika - the leaves show me that those cannot be an Angelica sp. the do look much more like Conium sp... or Heracleum sp, or Daucus sp., or pimpinella sp., or maybe Chaerophyllum sp
