Aconitum heterophyllum exhibits a wide range of inter and intra population variability throughout its natural range of distribution. Three distinct geographical and ecological groups have been recognised within the species which constitute 3 varieties. These are A. heterophyllurn var. heterophyllum, A. heterophyllum var. bracteatum and A. heterophyllum var. roylei. An exhaustive account of the morphologicd variation within the species and a diagnostic key to the varieties with an enumeration have been presented. Each species has been provided with correct name and citation, synonyms, type specimen, distribution, list of specimens examined and notes.

Abstract


Aconitum heterophyllum exhibits a wide range of inter and intra population variability throughout its natural range of distribution. Three distinct geographical and ecological groups have been recognised within the species which constitute 3 varieties. These are A. heterophyllurn var. heterophyllum, A. heterophyllum var. bracteatum and A. heterophyllum var. roylei. An exhaustive account of the morphologicd variation within the species and a diagnostic key to the varieties with an enumeration have been presented. Each species has been provided with correct name and citation, synonyms, type specimen, distribution, list of specimens examined and notes.
