Surprisingly there is no mention of Aconitum chasmanthum in FOH book by Polunin.

It is mentioned in FOH by a different name Aconitum violaceum var robustum which is a synonym of A.chasmanthum

Oh. Thanks.

The picture of flowers of Aconitum are so similar except for the shade in colour. Even the leaves are also similar.

Good to learn so many things.
