Yes … Sir, genus is Aconitum. It would be much appreciated if you could identify its species as well.

Please check Aconitum lethale Griff. !


The colours of both the flowers are completely different, one is white and another is medium to dark semi-saturated blue-purple. Sir, kindly check again.


Please check https://powo.science.kew.org/names:707528-1 !
May be different.


Sorry to bother you again Sir, but I don’t think both are similar species of Aconitum (above pic- A. lethale & below- A. sp.). Pease correct me if I’m wrong.


I am also not sure.


Pl. check with keys and details at

I was thinking could it be A. rotundifolium but the leaves structure were completely different so I still cannot confirm it. Thank you for reminding me.
