-'''''Aconitum anthora''''', variously known as '''Anthora''', '''Yellow Monkshood''', or '''Healing Wolfsbane''', is a yellow flowering plant species of the genus ''[[Aconitum]]'' in the family [[Ranunculaceae]].
+==Cultivation==
-It's native range is widespread, but mainly in European mountains, such as  the [[Alps]] and the [[Carpathian Mountains|Carpathians]], and the northern parts of Asia. Like all Aconitum species, it has great variability, due to isolation and [[hybrid]]isation. Because of this polymorphism, ''Aconitum anthora'' is included in the ''Aconitum vulparia''-group. It flowers from July to September.
+===Propagation===
-Historically, its [[root]], which is [[tuber]]ous, was reputed to be a good [[antidote]], and counter-poision to poisons from 'thora'<ref>http://www.bookofherbs.com/g/Greater_Thora_ruggs.htm</ref> or ''[[Aconitum pardalianches]]'', whence its naming ''anthora'' or "against thora". This plant is extremely toxic to livestock and humans. Even small doses can be deadly.
+===Pests and diseases===
-The root contains a large amount of [[volatile salt]] and [[essential oil]], while the foliage and stems contain diterpenoid alkaloids. It has been used externally against [[rheumatism]] and deep pain, but it can irritate the skin. Internally, it has been used for weak [[pulse]], vegetable poisons (shoot), [[fever]]ish [[common cold|colds]], [[pneumonia]], [[croup]], heart conditions, and [[cardiac arrest]].
+==Varieties==
-It is considered {{Fact|date=February 2007}} a threatened plant in the Czech Republic.
