This is herbaceous perennial plant growing up to 1m. Flowers are grouped in terminal racemes, each flower about 2 - 3 cm long. They are pale yellow in colour in this subspecies. The leaves are palmately lobed with four to six deeply cut lobes.
This is a montaneous plant, found in montane pastures and edges of forests - such is here, seen in Natural Reserve of Jura range.
Very toxic plant, containing aconitine, which acts as potent poison to mammals.
