In Gloucestershire the fruit of the Arum maculatum is snake's-victuals, and snake's-head is a common name for thefritillary. Names in which the devil figures have been noticed elsewhere, as also those in which the words fairy and witch enter.
A snake's-head on the old railroads was where a rail got loose from the fish-plate at one end and came up over the wheel instead of staying down under it. Track's End was a new town just built at the end of the railroad. The next town back toward the east was Lone Tree; but that day it burned up and was no more.
By these, but on the lower ground almost level with the water, big forget-me-nots, butterburs, and wild snake's-head lilies should be set, and all the crimson and white varieties of garden daisy.
