description <i>Angelica</i> (Apiaceae) is a large complex genus with high morphological diversity. The many taxonomic treatments explain the controversy regarding the number of European species, which range from four to ten. Molecular methods have unraveled the complicated Asian and American taxonomies; however, no comprehensive molecular study has been conducted on the European taxa. We aim to determine the number of different European <i>Angelica</i> s.l. taxa and their relationship within the Selineae tribe by conducting Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) analyses based on the nuclear Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) and haplotype networks by Templeton Crandall and Sing and neighbour-net analyses based on the plastid <i>trnL</i>. Three separate Iberian species (<i>A. angelicastrum</i>, <i>A. razulii</i> and <i>A. pyrenaea</i>) form the new Iberian Angelica clade, which is sister to the <i>Archangelica</i> clade. Although morphologically different, <i>A. pachycarpa</i> cannot be differentiated from <i>A. angelicastrum</i> by molecular methods, casting new doubts on the existing taxonomies. Molecular evidences suggest that <i>A. heterocarpa</i> should be considered an estuary forma of <i>A. sylvestris</i>. The east and west <i>A. sylvestris</i> subclades support the subspecies <i>A. sylvestris</i> subsp. <i>elatior</i> and <i>A. sylvestris</i> subsp. <i>villosa</i> (including <i>A. heterocarpa</i>). Our evidences support the classification of <i>A. palustris</i> as <i>Ostericum palustre</i>.
