The affinity of this new Aconite lies probably with A. Hookeri, 
Stapf, with which it has much in common, as the general structure 
of the tubers, the facies of the leaves, the inflorescence and the 
shape of the nectaries, but it differs from it in the absence of the 
characteristic hypogaeous portion of the stem and in the 
remarkable rope-like tubers, which are unique in the section 
Napellus. The plant was raised at Kew from seed collected by 
Mr. R..E. Cooper for Bees, Limited.
