"Aconitum napellus"
Aconitum napellus, a species of the family Ranunculaceae. This flower’s gaudy, colourful organs are the sepals, and not the petals. The latter are concealed beneath the upper part of the flower which forms a sort of hood, whence the English name monkshood allotted to this flower. These petals are narrow, elongated and have at the end a kind of small pocket, containing nectar.
