All parts of some plants are poisonous even when eaten in small quantities, such as monkshood (
Aconitum), yew (Taxus baccata), and oleander (Nerium oleander).
Although
aconitum is deadly poisonous, I can't do without it for the intense blues it brings to the garden -
aconitum carmichaelii flowers in the autumn.
Aconitum is a genus of plants belonging to the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae, which consists of approximately 60 genera.
I'd recommend a high single dose of the homoeopathic remedy
Aconitum 1M.
And I haven't even got round to all the other Himalayan specials, the magnolias, anemones,
aconitum, and a score of primula, all of which give our gardens that unique flavour
Nathan Greenway had not worn gloves and may have "brushed" a toxic
aconitum plant, known as Devil's Helmet, an inquest heard.
Draw up 3 cc of procaine (1 % solution buffered to a pH of 7 with potassium hydroxide and no epinephrine) with 1 ampoule of Spascupreel containing

DANGEROUS: The Glory Lily POISONOUS: Monkshood (also known as
aconitum) is extremely toxic
"
Aconitum, common monkshood, is an unbelievable killer." Bearing tall spikes of helmeted flowers in blues and purples in the summer, it's poisonous and a skin irritant.
Aconitum ferox, a very toxic species of the plant, grows around the Himalayas and N epal.
