"As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite" - Severus Snape during Harry's first Potions class
Aconite (also known as monkshood or wolfsbane) is a plant with magical properties. Once widespread, this plant is now only found in wild places. Its flowers are useful in potion-making, but its leaves are very toxic. Aconite is most commonly known as an ingredient of Wolfsbane Potion. The root of aconite can be used as a potion ingredient.
