Aconitum, commonly known as aconite, monkshood, wolf's bane, leopard's bane, mouse-bane, women's bane, devil's helmet, queen of poisons, or blue rocket.
It is a genus of over 250 species of flowering plants belonging to the family Ranunculaceae.
These herbaceous perennial plants are chiefly native to the mountainous parts of the Northern Hemisphere, growing in the moisture-retentive but well-draining soils of mountain meadows.
Most species are extremely poisonous and must be dealt with carefully.
The tall, erect stem is crowned by racemes of large blue, purple, white, yellow, or pink zygomorphic flowers with numerous stamens.
They are distinguishable by having one of the five petaloid sepals (the posterior one), called the galea, in the form of a cylindrical helmet, hence the English name monkshood, and in Flemish: monnikskap.
