ACONI'TUM. (Being plentiful near Acona. Nat-

Hardy herbaceous plants, some of which are very 

 beautiful and will grow under the shade of trees, and 

 succeed well in any common garden soil, propagated 

 from divisions or seeds. Our indigenous species (A. 

 Napellus), the Common Monkshood, is one of the most 

 virulent poisons to cattle and to human beings ; the roots, 

 though distinct, have been taken for horse-radish, and 

 fatalities have occurred through the mistake. Almost 

 all other species are equally dangerous.
