|discussion=<p><i>Aconitum uncinatum</i> grows in the Appalachian Mountains, on the Piedmont, and on the upper Atlantic Coastal Plain. It is a relatively homogeneous group divided into two intergrading subspecies by J. W. Hardin (1964).</p><!--
--><p>Daughter tubers and connecting rhizomes are seldom present on herbarium specimens because they are easily dislodged during collection.</p><!--
--><p>Available information suggests that <i>Aconitum uncinatum</i> is probably not one of the extremely toxic aconites (D. E. Brink 1982).</p>
