Aconite (also known as monkshood and wolfsbane) is a plant with magical proprieties. Once wide-spread, this plant is only found now in wild places. Its flowers are useful in potion-making, but its leaves are very toxic.[1]
Behind the scenes
- There are over 250 species of Aconitum, the most common of which are known as aconite, monkshood, or wolfsbane. Scott Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs informs us that a folk name for the highly poisonous Wolf's Bane is "Dumbledore's Delight". (Most commonly used in the Wolfsbane Potion.)
