noun
Angelica ursina; Ezo angelica
A perennial herb of the genus Angelica, native to Hokkaido and surrounding regions. The name is a botanical term; in everyday contexts, it may be unfamiliar.
エゾニュウは北海道の山地に自生する大型の多年草です。
Angelica ursina is a large perennial herb that grows wild in the mountains of Hokkaido.
