Monkshood

Aconitum napellus

Aconitum known as monkshood and wolfbane is a genus of flowering plant belonging to the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). There are over 250 species of Aconitum. These herbaceous perennial plants are chiefly natives of the mountainous parts of the northern hemisphere, growing in moisture retentive but well draining soils on mountain meadows. Their dark green leaves lack stipules. They are palmate or deeply palmately lobed with 5–7 segments. Each segment again is 3-lobed with coarse sharp teeth. The leaves have a spiral or alternate arrangement. The lower leaves have long petioles.
