トリカブト 鳥兜
[i][b]Aconitum[/b][/i] (also known as aconite or wolfsbane) is a genus of poisonous flowering plants in the [i]Ranunculaceae[/i] family. 

The color of the flowers usually varies from blue to purple, some species are yellowish. They consist of five petals that form a characteristic shape resembling a hood or helmet. This shape gave it its common names, such as [b]devil's helmet[/b], [b]helmet flower[/b], [b]monkshood[/b], [i][b]torikabuto[/i][/b] (鳥兜 lit. "bird's helmet":https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/鳥兜). The leaves are lobed.

Most Aconitum species are highly poisonous and were historically used to poison the tips of javelins and arrows.
