Aconitum Napellus is the latin name for a type of poisonous plant, more commonly known as Monk's Hood. (For other names, see 'Related links' below)
Aconitum is the species name given to this plant in the 1700's by Linnaeus, the famous classifier of plants. However, the word 'aconitum' is from a similar word for this plant used by the ancient Romans and Greeks. As it is a poisonaous plant, doubtless the word 'aconitum' is from the Greek acontias/acon, a dart.
Napellus means litte root.
