According to the wiki, this plant's roots were believed to be an antidote against "thora", another Aconitum plant. This "thora" was lethal to livestock. That may be the reason why the root of Anthora, the antidote, is drawn like a bull that looks more dead than alive.

The Greek orchis means testicle, as still evidenced from the word polyorchidism (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.).
The Latin term is testes which may have led to the drawing of heads in the roots of orchids.
