Angelica Archangelica, commonly known as garden angelica, wild celery, and Norwegian angelica, is a plant that has been of significant interest in both culinary and medicinal contexts throughout history. Its detailed botanical and medicinal properties were meticulously documented in the 19th-century work "Phytographie Medicale" by L.F.J. Hoquart. This publication, part of the broader tradition of pharmacognosy and botanical illustration, aimed to provide an exhaustive account of medicinal plants, their uses, and their characteristics, contributing to the knowledge base of both medical professionals and botanists of the time.

In "Phytographie Medicale," Hoquart delves into the botanical description of Angelica Archangelica, highlighting its distinguishing features such as its tall stature, bipinnate leaves, and spherical umbels of greenish-white flowers. The work also explores the plant's habitat, noting its preference for damp, fertile soils, often found in northern European regions. Beyond its botanical aspects, Hoquart's text pays particular attention to the medicinal properties of Angelica Archangelica. The roots, seeds, and leaves of the plant have been traditionally used in various remedies, believed to possess expectorant, digestive, and anti-inflammatory properties. Hoquart's detailed account reflects the medical understanding of the time, providing insights into the preparation and application of Angelica in treating ailments such as colds, digestive issues, and rheumatic conditions.

"Phytographie Medicale" by L.F.J. Hoquart stands as a significant contribution to the 19th-century literature on medicinal plants, offering a comprehensive examination of Angelica Archangelica among other species. The work is emblematic of the period's approach to botanical and medical knowledge, combining detailed observation with a practical understanding of plant-based remedies. Through Hoquart's meticulous documentation, "Phytographie Medicale" serves as a valuable resource for historians, botanists, and medical professionals interested in the historical uses and cultural significance of medicinal plants.
