* Dzin pa and Sman Chen are both recognized as names for varieties of “Black” Aconite in Tibetan Medicine, the Aconites synonymous with Aconitum ferox and the Chinese Aconites. Similarly in TCM, sometimes 2 varieties of Aconite are combined together in formula. Some sources list Aconitum napellus for Dzin pa. Some Russian sources have stated Dzin pa to be Aconitum kusnezoffii, and Sman Chen to be Aconítum soongáricum
