Which Aconitum is this ?
« on: March 18, 2009, 08:09:37 AM »
Hi everyone,

last year a friend showed me a picture of a strange Aconitum:

http://forum.planten.de/galerie/v/user/winterliesel/album46/Eisenhut-Bluete.jpg.html

I have never seen this plant before and have no clue about the species - can anyone help ?
I have lots of seedlings and still some seed in the freezer, so if anyone is interested I couild send some.

Thanks & best regards,

Michael

Aconitum leucostomum (photo in Rix & Phillips Perennials) seems similar to the plant in question.  The text says that A. orientalis is similar to A. leucostomum, so may be a possibility to check out as well?
