Also known as monkshood or wolfsbane, aconite was a non-magical plant with magical properties. It can be used in the Wolfsbane Potion and Wideye Potion, and the leaves are toxic. Students at Hogwarts learn about this plant in their Fifth year and are encouraged to wear dragon-hide gloves to protect their skin.

In the Forbidden Forest, rare hybrids of this flower can be found.
