Aconite (Aconitum columbianum). 



The aconites grow in close proximity to the tall larkspurs, and are frequently confused with 

 them The leaves are almost identical in form, and the plants grow to the same height. 

 They can, however, be distinguished by the form and color of the flowers. Although poison- 

 ous plants, the aconites do not poison cattle.
