Aconite History
Aconite was once widespread, but in recent years can only be found in the wilderness. The flowers and roots are used in potion-making, but the leaves are toxic. The most common potions known to contain Aconite are the Wolfsbane and Wideye Potions.
Aconite Etymology
The name aconite is derived from the Greek akon (meaning dart or javelin) or possibly from the Greek akonae, due to the rocky locations the plant was believed to grow. The Greek name lycoctonum literally translates to one of the plant’s other names, wolf’s bane. The name wolf’s bane is believed to have originated with the use of the plants juice to poison wolves either with bait or arrows.
