Angelica is a genus of about 60 species of tall biennial and perennial herbs in the family Apiaceae, native to temperate and subarctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere, reaching as far north as Iceland and Lapland. They grow to 1–3 m tall, with large bipinnate leaves and large compound umbels of white or greenish-white flowers. Some species can be found in purple moor and rush pastures.

Rubus laciniatus, commonly called evergreen blackberry or cutleaf blackberry, is a species of blackberry that is native to Eurasia. It has been introduced to Australia and North America, and become a weed and highly invasive species in forested habitats in the United States and Canada, it is very difficult to control. Evergreen blackberry is a deciduous shrub that grows up to 3 meters tall with prickly shoots. The flowers are in clusters, the petals are pink or white. The fruits are shiny and black, similar to the common blackberry, with a unique and fruitier taste. The fruits are not true berries in the botanical sense. [Wikipedia]
