Aconitum napellus, Monk's Hood - An Exquisite Victorian Illustration of a Poisonous Flowering Plant This stunning Victorian illustration, created by Arthur Harry Church in 1903, showcases the enchanting beauty of Aconitum napellus, commonly known as Monk's Hood or Monkshood. The illustration is part of the extensive botanical collection held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London (Plate 12). Monk's Hood is a flowering plant belonging to the Ranunculaceae family, which is part of the larger order Ranunculales, and the class Eudicotyledons. This eudicot, also known as an angiosperm or magnoliophyte, is a flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. The plant is native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa and is characterized by its tall spikes of hooded, bell-shaped, blue or purple flowers. The Monk's Hood derives its name from the appearance of its hooded flowers, which resemble the cowls worn by monks. This plant is notorious for its toxic properties, with all parts of the plant being poisonous. In fact, Aconitum napellus has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes, as well as for the production of deadly poisons. Arthur Harry Church's illustration captures the intricate details of the Monk's Hood's flowers, leaves, and stems, providing a glimpse into the rich flora of the Victorian era. The delicate shading and precise detailing showcase the artist's exceptional skill and dedication to botanical illustration. This image not only serves as a testament to the beauty of nature but also to the artistic prowess of the Victorian era.
