Description
Aconitum columbianum is a tall spindly erect to scandent forb which is perennial from rhizomes. It has lobed or toothed leaves and long stems with far-spaced flowers.
The folded, wrinkly flowers are often deep blue or purple, but may also be white or yellowish, and they usually have a spur. The fruits are pod-like follicles.
Like other monkshoods (Aconitum species), this plant is poisonous to humans and livestock, although some species have been used to make drugs.[3]
