Species
As of December 2022[update], Plants of the World Online accepted the following species:[1]
- Selinum alatum (M.Bieb.) Poir.
- Selinum broteroi Hoffmanns. & Link
- Selinum carvifolium (L.) L. - Cambridge milk-parsley or little-leaf angelica
- Selinum coniifolium (Boiss.) Leute
- Selinum cryptotaenium H.Boissieu
- Selinum filicifolium (Edgew.) Nasir
- Selinum longicalycium M.L.Sheh

- Selinum vaginatum (Edgew.) C.B.Clarke
Species formerly placed in the genus include:
- Selinum wallichianum – synonym of Ligusticopsis wallichiana
- Selinum tenuifolium – another synonym of Ligusticopsis wallichiana
Folk-medicinal and ritual uses
Several Himalayan species belonging to the genus are both taken internally and burnt as dhoop or incense as sedatives to soothe mental turmoil of various kinds in Tantric rituals. Given that aphrodisiac properties are also reported they may also be used in practices related to sex magic / sacred sexuality. They are aromatic and mildly psychoactive without being unduly toxic - some species are recorded as having been used both as human food and cattle fodder.[2]
